Шаблон:Infobox landform Cape Elizabeth (Шаблон:Lang-ru, Шаблон:Lang-ja "Gaoto-misaki") is a cape on the Schmidt Peninsula. It is the northernmost point of Sakhalin.

Cape Elizabeth was named by Adam Johann von Krusenstern (aka Ivan Kruzenstern) in 1805 after Empress Elizaveta, wife of Alexander I of Russia.

The cape is a territory under administration of the Okhinsky District and was even considered the northernmost point of Japan until the Treaty of Saint Petersburg in 1875 when it was replaced by the northernmost point of Atlasov Island (known in Japanese as Шаблон:Nihongo and in Ainu as Oyakoba).

History

Between 1848 and 1874, American whaleships caught bowhead whales off the cape.[1] They also went ashore to obtain wood.[2]
