Cape Hooker (South Shetland Islands)
- Cape Hooker (South Shetland Islands)
Cape Hooker (coord|63|18|S|61|56|W|display=inline,title) is the southeast point of Low Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The feature was roughly charted by the nineteenth century sealers; further charted by Commander Henry Foster in 1829 but shown as the northeast point of the island. Following air photography by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) in 1956, the charted shape of the island was drastically altered and the name Cape Hooker was applied to its southeast point as described.
