Cape Stallworthy (originally Svartevaeg) is a peninsula in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located at the northern point of Axel Heiberg Island. Frederick Cook began his 1908 North Pole journey from the cape.^[1] The cape is sometimes confused with Cape Thomas Hubbard on the opposite side of Eetookashoo Bay. Originally named Svartevaeg ("black wall") by Harald Sverdrup,^[1] it was later renamed in honor of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Harry Stallworthy, an Arctic explorer.^[2]
