Cape Fairweather is a cape 705 metres (2,310 ft) high, which is ice covered except for rocky exposures along its southeast and east sides, lying midway between Drygalski Glacier and Evans Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land and dividing Nordenskjöld Coast from Oscar II Coast. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for Alexander Fairweather, captain of the Dundee whaler Balaena which operated along the northeast coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1892–93.
