Administratively Cape Vega is part of the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai.[2] It was named after Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld's ship SS Vega in which he carried out his Vega Expedition.[3]
This cape should not be confused with another headland named 'Cape Vega' in Taymyr Island.[4]
