The Cape Lamb is a chapter that the southwestern foothills of the West Antarctic Vega Island forms. It marks the approach from Herbert Sound to Bahía Esteverena .

Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld discovered it. Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) sifted it again in 1945 and renamed it. It is named after the botanist Ivan Mackenzie Lamb (1911–1990), who was part of the FIDS team at Port Lockroy in 1944 and that of Hope Bay in 1945, and who led a biological expedition to the Melchior Islands between 1964 and 1965 .
