Cape Krasinski ( Russian Мыс Красинского Mys Krassinskowo ) is a cape on the edge of the ice shelf belt off the Princess Astrid coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It separates the Kamenev Bight from the Dublitskiy Bay .
Aerial photographs taken during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) between 1958 and 1959 were used to map it. Scientists on a Soviet Antarctic expedition carried out another mapping in 1961 and named the cape. The namesake is the polar researcher GD Krassinski, organizer of aviation expeditions.
