Cape Walløe (), also known as Kangeq and Kangerssiuasik, is a headland in the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast Greenland, Kujalleq municipality.
History Cape Walløe was named in 1829 by Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah (1793–1863) after Dano-Norwegian Arctic explorer Peder Olsen Walløe (1716–1793) who was the first European known with certainty to have explored the southern part of the southeastern coast of Greenland using local umiak boats. This headland was the farthest point that Walløe reached up the then uncharted coast before he had to turn backSpencer Apollonio, Lands That Hold One Spellbound: A Story of East Greenland, 2008 pp. 10–11 because he found it impossible to proceed further north owing to the ice.W. A. Graah, Narrative of an Expedition to the East Coast of Greenland, London, 1837, p. 67
