	Cape Margerie Cape Margerie () is a low, ice-covered cape in Antarctica, marked by prominent rock outcrops at its northern end, lying midway between Cape Mousse and Lacroix Nunatak and bounded on the north by numerous rocky islands. It was charted by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Mawson, 1911–14, who named this feature for Emmanuel de Margerie, a French geographer and geologist. Bleue Cove lies immediately east.
