Cape Fligely (; Mys Fligeli) is located on the northern shores of Rudolf Island and Franz Josef Land in the Russian Federation,[1] [2] and is the northernmost point of Russia, Europe, and Eurasia as a whole. It is south from the North Pole.
This cape was first visited on 12 April 1874 by the Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition and named after Austrian cartographer Field Marshal August von Fligely (1811 - 1879).[3]
