Cape Vik

Cape Vik is the west entrance point of Marshall Bay, on the south coast of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The cape was charted and named by Sørlle in 1912-13; also charted by Moe in January 1913 and called 'Cape Eoensen' or 'Cape Evensen'. It was later marked as Vik Pynten, misplaced in the vicinity of Mansfield Point. The cape was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933. The cape was surveyed from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-1958.
