Cape Nuñez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Nuñez () is a headland forming the southwest extremity of Nunez Peninsula on the south coast of South Georgia. The name dates back to at least 1912 and was probably given by whalers who frequented this coast.
Nuñez Peninsula () is a rocky and comparatively snow-free cove, 5 miles (8 km) long, lying between Queen Maud Bay and Jossac Bight on the south coast of South Georgia. The feature was known to early whalers and sealers on South Georgia. It was surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in association with Cape Nunez, the southwest extremity of the peninsula.
