Description

The N cape of Mawson Peninsula, George V Coast. Land was sighted in this area, Jan. 19, 1840, by Lieutenant William L. Hudson in the USS Peacock of the U.S. Exploring Expedition (USEE) (1838-42) under Wilkes, who applied the name Cape Hudson. An analysis by B.P. Lambert and P.G. Law of the U.S. Exploring Expedition (USEE) chart, and of the photographs taken by U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Highjump (1946-47) and Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1959), suggests that the N cape of Mawson Peninsula is Wilkes' Cape Hudson.
