Cape Bruce forms the northern tip of a small island lying at the eastern side of Oom Bay, separated from the mainland rocks just west of Taylor Glacier in Mac.
A landing was made at the cape on 18 February 1931 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Sir Douglas Mawson.
A cairn, with a plaque, erected by Mawson at the time to commemorate the landing, has been designated a Historic Site or Monument (HSM 5) following a proposal by Australia to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting.
