North Cape is the northernmost point of New Zealand's main islands. At the northeastern tip of the Aupouri Peninsula, the cape lies 30 kilometres (19 mi) east and three kilometres (1.9 mi) north of Cape Reinga.

It is also used to refer to the whole larger headland stretching about five kilometres from Murimotu Island westwards to Kerr Point and including the Surville Cliffs. Statistics New Zealand uses a statistical area called North Cape for population data, extending south down the Aupouri Peninsula to the Houhora Heads.

False Round Point is a point 16 km (9.9 mi) west of North Foreland and 4 km (2.5 mi) south of Ridley Island, on the north coast of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. The point has appeared on charts since about 1822. It was probably named for its similarity to Round Point, which lies 22 km (14 mi) to the west, by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II who charted the north coast of this island in 1937.
Skarvsnes Foreland is an extensive foreland surmounted by bare rock peaks and indented by several coves, protruding into the east part of Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE) of 1936–37. Its name means "barren mountain headland." Most other features on the foreland were mapped and named by LCE personnel, with a few others mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) of 1957–62. Unless otherwise specified, the following features were mapped and named by LCE personnel.
