The cape is an alternative endpoint for Melville Bay,{{cite journal |journal=Suluk |year=2010 |volume=4 |publisher=Air Greenland |author=Pia Christensen Bang |title=Tracking polar bears |pages=16}} although the common definition limits the bay to Wilcox Head, the western promontory on Kiatassuaq Island, at the northern end of Inussulik Bay, thus excluding the latter. The other end is defined as Cape York, {{convert|331|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the northwest, in northern Baffin Bay.
