This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
"Named for its shape and prominence, this Cape is joined to the ice and features steep cliffs on all seaward sides. The western cliff has a steep gully, underlain by marble, allowing access to the flatter top of the Cape. The Cape was visited by ANARE in 1992-93 and 1993-94 for detailed mapping and sampling of the marble horizons."
