Cape Confusion (74°50′S 163°50′E / 74.833°S 163.833°E / -74.833; 163.833Coordinates: 74°50′S 163°50′E / 74.833°S 163.833°E / -74.833; 163.833) is a rocky point which projects from the southwest part of the Northern Foothills, 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of Cape Russell, on the coast of Victoria Land. It was visited by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63, which gave the name because of the complex geological structure of the area.[1]
