Cape Fairweather

Cape Fairweather is a cape in Antarctica that is 705 metres (2,310 ft) high and is ice-covered except for rocky exposures along its southeast and east sides.

Rogosh Glacier branches at the ridge forming Cape Fairweather and flows into Artanes Bay to the south, and into Weddell Sea west of Pedersen Nunatak to the east.

The cape was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, which named it for Alexander Fairweather, captain of the Dundee whaler Balaena, which operated along the northeast coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1892–1893.
