Cape Royds (77°33′S166°09′E / 77.550°S 166.150°E / -77.550; 166.150 (Cape Royds)) is a dark rock cape forming the western extremity of Ross Island, facing on McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE) (1901–1904) and named for Lieutenant Charles Royds, Royal Navy, who acted as meteorologist on the expedition. Royds subsequently rose to become an Admiral and was later Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London.
The cape is the site of Shackleton's Hut, the expedition camp of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09.[1]
