Cape Ann is a protruding cape on the coast of the Enderbyland in East Antarctica . It is dominated by the 700  m high Mount Biscoe .

Aerial photos of the cape were taken on December 22, 1929 when the Norwegian polar explorer Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen flew over . It was also photographed on January 14, 1930 from the RSS Discovery during the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929-1931) led by the Australian polar explorer Douglas Mawson . On both research trips, the participants assumed that the mountain was the cape that the British navigator and explorer John Biscoe discovered on March 16, 1831 and named after his wife. The name was retained for the cape while the mountain was named after John Biscoe.
