Location
Cape Lyttelton lies between Cape Goldie and Shackleton Inlet, along the western edge of the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica.Шаблон:Sfn It is on an "island" formed where Lowery Glacier diverges from Ross Glacier. Lowery Glacier flows along the west of the island to join the Nimrod Glacier, which flows along the north of the island into Shackleton Inlet and the Ross Ice Shelf. Ross Glacier flows along the southeast of the island to the Ross Ice Shelf. The Holland Range is to the south, and the Queen Elizabeth Range to the east. Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Cape Lyttelton was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and named after Lyttelton, New Zealand. The Discovery started on the last lap of its journey south from Lyttelton, where very generous assistance was given the expedition.Шаблон:Sfn Robert Falcon Scott reports sighting the cape in his diary.Шаблон:Quote

In 2005, in association with Mount Christchurch, the New Zealand Geographic Board named this peak after Walter R. Seelig (1919-2005), the National Science Foundation Representative in Christchurch during eleven U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) austral deployments between 1971 and 1986 (Mount Seelig, q.v.).
