Cape Weyprecht

Cape Weyprecht[1][2] (Norwegian: Kapp Weyprecht)[3] is a headland in the northeast part of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, in the area known as Olav V Land.

[3] The cape is named after Karl Weyprecht, an Austro-Hungarian officer and polar explorer.

[3] Together with Julius von Payer, he led the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition that discovered Franz Josef Land in 1873.

About 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) east of Cape Weyprecht lie Mack Island, Torkildsen Island, and Isaksen Island, all part of the Rønnbeck Islands.
