Cape Page (in Chile Cabo Comandante Byers ) is a cape on the Davis Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located 21 km southwest of Cape Kater and marks the western boundary of the entrance to Vinitsa Cove on Orléans Street .
Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) led by Otto Nordenskjöld roughly mapped it. Aerial photos by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1955 to 1957 were used by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey for a new mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the Cape in 1960 after the British aircraft designer Frederick Handley Page (1885–1962), President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1945 to 1947.
