Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox landform Cape Vega (Шаблон:Lang-rus; Mys Vega) is a headland on the northern shore of the Taymyr Peninsula in the Kara Sea, Russian Federation. This cape is located at the northern tip of the peninsula, a little to the west of Cape Chelyuskin. Oscar Bay lies between both capes.[1]
Administratively Cape Vega is part of the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai.[2] It was named after Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld's ship SS Vega in which he carried out his Vega Expedition.[3]
This cape should not be confused with another headland named 'Cape Vega' in Taymyr Island.[4]
