Cape Nowosilski ( Russian Мыс Новосильского Mys Nowosilskowo ) is a cape on the icy Oates Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It is immediately west of the Slava Ice Shelf .
Aerial photographs were taken in January 1947 during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Scientists from a Soviet Antarctic expedition took new aerial photos in 1956 and named the cape. It is named after Lieutenant Pawel M. Nowosilski, an officer of the Mirny under Captain Michail Lasarew in the first Russian Antarctic expedition (1819-1821) under the direction of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen .
