Cape Ingrid (68°46′S 90°42′W / 68.767°S 90.700°W / -68.767; -90.700) is a dark rock promontory separating Norvegia Bay and Sandefjord Cove on the west side of Peter I Island, Antarctica. It was discovered in 1927 by a Norwegian expedition under Eyvind Tofte in the Odd I, a vessel of Lars Christensen's whaling fleet, and named for Ingrid Christensen, the wife of Lars.[1][2]
