Cape Hooker (Antarctica)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Hooker () is a cape on the northeast portion of the cove which includes Davis Ice Piedmont, on the north coast of Victoria Land. With Cape Dayman to the east-southeast, it forms an outer entrance point to Yule Bay. It was discovered by Captain James Clark Ross, 1841, who named it for Joseph Dalton Hooker (later Sir Joseph), naturalist and assistant surgeon on the Erebus who became internationally famous as a botanist.
