Geography
Cape Kane is a rocky headland located Шаблон:Convert west of Cape Washington,[3] northeast of Conger Sound and off the western side of the mouth of Hunt Fjord.[4] Hunt Fjord is under the influence of slow-moving glaciers discharging on both sides of Cape Kane that completely fill it and partially clog neighboring Conger Sound as well.[5]
Cape Kane is the westernmost point of the Roosevelt Land Peninsula. Cape Christiansen is the headland on the other side of Conger Sound, at the northern end of Lockwood Island.[3][1]
