Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox landform Cape Kane (Шаблон:Lang-da) is a headland in North Greenland. Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park.[1]

Cape Kane was named after Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane (1820 – 1857) at the time that it was the nearest land to the North Pole that had been put on the map.[2]

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]
