Cape Nakayubi (69°14′S 39°39′E) is a rocky point marking the south extremity of a U-shaped peninsula which extends seaward in finger-like fashion from the west side of Langhovde Hills, Queen Maud Land. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957-62. The name "Nakayubi-misaki" (middle finger point) was given by JARE Headquarters in 1972 in association with Cape Koyubi, which lies 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) northwestward.
