The Cape Nakayubi ( Japanese 中指岬 Nakayubi-misaki , German , middle finger tip ' ) is a rocky headland on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Lands . It marks the southern end of a U-shaped peninsula that extends like a curved finger from the western flank of the Langhovde group of hills into the sea.
Aerial photographs and measurements of a Japanese Antarctic expedition carried out from 1957 to 1962 were used to map them. The naming made in 1972 was based on the naming of Cape Koyubi, 800 m north-west .
