Cape Canwe

Cape Canwe (74°43′S 163°41′E) is a high rock bluff five kilometres (3 mi) north of Vegetation Island, forming the western extremity of the Northern Foothills, Victoria Land. It was first explored and named by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13. The name arose from seeing this feature a long way off and wondering whether they could reach it — "can we"?
