Cape Stallworthy (originally Svartevaeg) is the northernmost point of Axel Heiberg Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada.
Originally named Svartevaeg ("black wall") by Otto Sverdrup,[3] it was later renamed in honour of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Harry Stallworthy, an Arctic explorer.[4]
Frederick Cook began his 1908 North Pole journey from the cape.[3] Cape Stallworthy is sometimes confused with Cape Thomas Hubbard on the opposite side of Eetookashoo Bay.
