Cape Davies (71°50′S 100°4′W / 71.833°S 100.067°W) is an ice-covered cape at the northeast end of the Hughes Peninsula, Thurston Island. It was first delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Frank Davies, a physicist with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1928–30.
