Named by Finn Ronne for Richard Upjohn Light, then President of the American Geographical Society. The Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) had applied the name "Cape Light" to part of the extremity of Smith Peninsula, but that name is now dropped as Cape Fiske provides adequate reference to that feature.
