Cape Conway

Local nameCape Conway
LocationSouth Shetland Islands

Cape Conway is the rounded low and ice-free tipped cape forming the south extremity of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is a south entrance point for Boyd Strait. Tooth Rock rising to 85 m and lying 1.94 km to the south is the largest in a group of rocks extending 2.7 km from the cape. The area was visited by 19th century sealers.

Cape Conway was charted in 1829 by the British naval expedition under Captain Henry Foster and named after HMS Conway in which Foster had previously served. Tooth Rock was descriptively named following a survey from RRS John Biscoe in 1951–52.
