Description (see definition): Low, ice-covered cape forming the N tip of Kemp Peninsula and the E entrance point to Mason Inlet, on the E coast of Palmer Land. Probably first seen by members of the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) who photographed a portion of Kemp Peninsula while exploring this coast from the air in December 1940. During 1947 the cape was photographed by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), which in conjunction with the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyed it from the ground. Named by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) after Neil A. Mackintosh (1900-74), British marine biologist, oceanographer, and authority on Antarctic whales; member of DI scientific staff from 1924 and Chief Scientific Officer, 1929-49; Deputy Director, National Institute of Oceanography (now Insitute of Oceanographic Sciences), 1949-61.
