It is the most western point of Olkhon Island. The outline of the cape really does resemble a head of a mare. The other name of the cape, Khorin-Irgi, translated from Buryat means «A Shore (Irgi) of Khorinsk (Khorin)». Khorinsk is one of Buryatia districts.

The end of the cape is separated from the main part by a narrow strait a few metres wide. It is possible to canoe through the passage when the weather is calm and to enjoy a view of majestic cliffs of the cape.

When the Baikal freezes over, sokui (icy splashes) cover the rocks of the cape. As a rule after protracted storms, the rocks get covered by splashed ice 6 in (15 cm) thick and up to 65 ft (20 m) height. Sparkling in the beams of the winter sun the rocks look extremely spectacular.

The largest shipwreck on Lake Baikal occurred near the cape. It was caused by Sarma, the strongest wind of the Baikal. Sarma gets its name from the river flowing into the Maloye Morye strait. On October 15, 1901 the wind sank the ship “Potapov” with nearly 200 people aboard and no one survived. Some days later dead bodies were found frozen to the rocks.

The legend  says that the warriors of Genghis Khan spent some time on the cape and left a huge pot there.

There is a lighthouse on the cape, which is considered one of local attractions.
