Cape Lutke (Alaska)

This headland was named Mys Litke, after Russian explorer Count Fyodor Petrovich Litke, by the Imperial Russian Hydrographic Service in 1847.

"Litke" is the Russian form of the German "Lütke", which is Anglicized as "Lutke".

[1] This same point was called Mys Sivuchiy (meaning "Sealion Cape" in Russian) by Capt.

Tebenkov in 1852, and Cape Promontory by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) in 1888.
