Cape Neumayer (63°42′S 60°34′W) is a cape forming the northeast end of Trinity Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Charted and named by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Nordenskjold, 1901–04, for Georg B. von Neumayer (1826–1909), distinguished German geophysicist. In recent years the name Cape Wollaston has been applied to this cape, but the feature so named by Henry Foster has now been identified as the northwest cape of Trinity Island.
