The Cape Gotley is a cape on the coast of the East Antarctic Kemplands . It lies at the eastern end of the Austnes Peninsula and borders the entrance to Edward VIII Bay to the north .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named them descriptively, mapped them using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . They named them as Austnestangen (freely translated Eastern Peninsular tongue ). A new mapping was carried out as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named the cape in 1958 after Aubrey V. Gotley, who led the team of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions that operated on Heard Island in 1948 .
