(Redirected from Kapp Circoncision)
Coordinates: 54°24′39″S 3°20′48″E / 54.4109°S 3.3467°E Cape Circoncision (Norwegian: Kapp 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 Bouvet on 1 January 1739, which day is the Feast of the Circumcision and so it is named. The cape provided the location for the base-camp of the 1928-29 Norwegian expedition.
