Cabo Rudecindo ( Spanish , in Argentina Cabo Molina ) is a cape of Liège Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located southwest of Beaumont Hill in the central section of the island's west coast.
Chilean scientists named it after Rudecindo Velásquez Almonacid, stoker on the Yelcho in the 1916 rescue of the endurance expedition (1914–1917) of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton who were stranded on Elephant Island . The background of the Argentine naming is not known.
