Cape Berg (Russian: Мыс Берга, Mys Berga) is a headland in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia.
This cape was named after prominent Soviet geographer and biologist Lev Berg (1876 – 1950).
[1] Stretching out towards the Laptev Sea east of the Rusanov Glacier, Cape Berg is the northeasternmost point of October Revolution Island.
[3][4] On 3 September 1913[5] members of the expedition went to the shore near Cape Berg, on what is now known as October Revolution Island.
They raised the Russian flag on the shore and named the new territory Tayvay Land (Russian: Земля Тайвай, Zemlya Tayway), after the first syllable of their icebreaker's names (Taymyr & Vaygach), charting parts of the Laptev Sea coast of what they believed to be a single island.
