Cape Dezhnyov or Cape Dezhnev (Russian: мыс Дежнёва; Eskimo–Aleut: Tugnehalha); (Inupiaq: Nuuġaq),[1] formerly known as East Cape or Cape Vostochny, is a cape that forms the easternmost mainland point of Asia. It is located on the Chukchi Peninsula in the very sparsely populated Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia. This cape is located between the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Strait, 82 kilometres (51 mi) across from Cape Prince of Wales in Alaska; the Bering Strait is delimited by the two capes. The Diomede Islands and Fairway Rock are located in the midst of the strait.[2]
