Cape Davies
Cape Davies (71°50′S 100°04′W) is an ice-covered cape, lying at the northeast end of Hughes Peninsula, on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica.[1] The cape plotted from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946 and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN). The cape was named for Frank Davies, a physicist with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (ByrdAE) in 1928-30.[1]
