The cape was named by Lauge Koch after Danish painter, author and explorer Harald Moltke. The Danish scientific research station Kap Harald Moltke was built in 1972 near the cape under the auspices of Eigil Knuth.[1] There is also a small airfield near the facility. The Kap Harald Moltke Arctic station, as well as nearby Brønlundhus Station —built in 1948— have been under the administration of the Peary Land Foundation since Eigil Knuth's death.[2]
