Cape Stallworthy (originally Svartevaeg) is the northernmost point of Axel Heiberg Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. Originally named Svartevaeg ("black wall") by Otto Sverdrup, [1] it was later renamed in honor of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Harry Stallworthy, an Arctic explorer. [2] Frederick Cook began his 1908 North Pole journey from the cape. [1] Cape Stallworthy is sometimes confused with Cape Thomas Hubbard on the opposite side of Eetookashoo Bay.
