History of Icy Cape

So named by Captain Cook (1785, v. 2, p. 455), Royal Navy (RN), who wrote August 15, 1778, "The eastern extreme forms a point which was much encumbered with ice; for which reason it obtained the name of Icy Cape." This was the northern limit of Cook's discoveries. The Eskimo word "Utoqaq" means "old" or "ancient" place.
