Cape Deceit
Template:Short description Cape Deceit (Iñupiaq: Qipalut) is a cape in Alaska.[1] It is located in the Seward Peninsula on the Chukchi Sea coast.
Cape Deceit extends into Kotzebue Sound, 2 mi. NW of Deering; Kotzebue-Kobuk Low.
This cape's name was given in 1816 by Lt. Otto von Kotzebue. "Deceit" is a translation of the German Script error: No such module "Lang"., for Kotzebue thought that there was something about the shape of the cape and its surroundings that indicated a bay that did not exist. Thus he declared it to be "deceitful".
The Eastern Beringian vole, Microtus deceitensis, has been named after Cape Deceit.
