Cape Circoncision
Cape Circoncision is a peninsula on the north-western edge of subantarctic Bouvet Island. The small peninsula was sighted by the French naval exploration that was led by Jean-Baptiste [Charles Bouvet de Lozier] on 1 January 1739, the Feast of the [Circumcision of Christ|Feast of the Circumcision] day—thus the name. The cape provided the location for the base-camp of the 1928–1929 Norwegian expedition.
