Cape which forms the NE end of Jason Peninsula, on the E coast of Graham Land. Discovered and named in 1893 by a Norwegian expedition under C.A. Larsen. The name is probably descriptive. Larsen reported that he gave the name Framnes (forward point) to the promontory which shoots off in an eastern direction from Mount Jason (now Jason Peninsula). He said it appeared to be the most advanced point of land which his expedition saw here.

Cape of Jason Peninsula, König-Oskar-II.-Land, E side of Antarctic Peninsula, Weddell Sea. Discovered during the expedition 1893/94 (vessels 'Jason' and 'Hertha') under the Norwegian Captain Carl Anton Larsen, financed by the Hamburg Company Woltereck & Robertson.

Fue descubierto y bautizado en 1893 por una Expedición Antártica Noruega al mando de CA. Larsen. En ese tiempo Larsen pensó que el cabo era una parte del continente. Se le dio el nombre por Frannesodden, un cabo en el fiordo Langefjord en Noruega. El cabo fue levantado por el FIDS en 1953. Corresponde a un promontorio escarpado que se forma en el extremo NE de la península Jason, costa E de Tierra de O'Higgins, al NW del mar de Weddell.
