It also marks the western boundary of the southern entrance from the Erebus-und-Terror-Golf into the Fridtjof-Sund and the eastern boundary of the entrance to Caleta Valenzuela .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped and named the cape in 1946. It is named after the geologist Michael Campbell Green (1926–1948), who died in the fire at the FIDS station in Hope Bay in November 1948.
