Cape Lookout, also known as Cabo Fossatti or Cabo Vigia, is a steep cape, 240 m high, marking the southern extremity of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. The name Cape Lookout appears on a map of 1822 by Captain George Powell, a British sealer, and is now established in international usage.
