Cape Yelcho [SEP] continent
Cape Yelcho
Cape Yelcho is the northwestern extremity of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was named by the UK Joint Services Expedition, 1970–71, after the Chilean steam tug "Yelcho". 
The tug, which was commanded by Luis Pardo, rescued members of Ernest Shackleton's stranded party from nearby Point Wild in August 1916.
Legacy.
Pardo Ridge, the highest portion of Elephant Island, was named after him, and a cape on the northern tip of the Island was given the name Yelcho. The bow of the "Yelcho" is on display at Puerto Williams, a Chilean naval base on the Beagle Channel, and a bust of Captain Pardo has been placed at the site of the "Endurance" crew's camp on Elephant Island.
Two Chilean naval vessels have been named in his honour:
- "Piloto Pardo",
