Cape Shirreff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Shirreff is a prominent cape at the north end of the rocky Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula which separates Hero and Barclay Bay on the north coast of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by Edward Bransfield in 1820 for Captain William H. Shirreff, at that time the British commanding officer in the Pacific.
