Cape Yelcho


Cape Yelcho is the north-west extremity of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was named by the UK Joint Services Expedition, 1970–71, after the Chilean steam tug Yelcho. The tug was commanded by Luis Pardo, which rescued members of Ernest Shackleton's party from nearby Point Wild in August 1916.
