Cape Knowles

Cape Knowles (71°48′S 60°50′W) is a cape rising to 305 metres (1,000 ft), marking the northern side of the entrance to Hilton Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by members of East Base of the U.S. Antarctic Service in 1940, and named for geologist Paul H. Knowles, leader of the East Base sledging party that surveyed this coast as far south as Hilton Inlet.
