Cape Danger information


Location of Desolation Island in the South Shetland Islands
Topographic map of Livingston Island

Cape Danger is the rocky point forming the northwest extremity of the ice-free Desolation Island situated in the entrance to Hero Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The cape forms the west side of the entrance to Kozma Cove. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Blythe Bay.

The feature was charted in 1935 by Discovery Investigations personnel and so named because of a group of sunken rocks extending from the cape.
