Cape Herlacher is a massive and ice-covered cape on the Bakutis coast of the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It represents the northern end of the Martin Peninsula .
An initial mapping was made using aerial photographs taken in January 1947 as part of Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the cape after Carl John Herlacher (1895–1975), chief Antarctic cartographer of the United States Hydrographic Office in 1937.
