Cape Koyubi

Cape Koyubi (69°14′S 39°38′E / 69.233°S 39.633°E / -69.233; 39.633Coordinates: 69°14′S 39°38′E / 69.233°S 39.633°E / -69.233; 39.633) is a rocky point marking the western extremity of a U-shaped peninsula that extends seaward in finger-like fashion from the west side of the Langhovde Hills, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62. The name "Koyubi-misaki" (little finger point) was given by JARE Headquarters in 1972 in association with Cape Nakayubi, which lies 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) to the southeast.[1]
