Narrative

The peninsula between Cape Jones and Cape Daniell. It is an elongated basalt dome similar to Hallett and Adare Peninsulas and is approximately 1524m high. It is separated from the Victory Mountains by the Whitehall Glacier which descends below sea-level, but the feature is probably not an island for it appears to be joined to the Victory Mountains at the southern end by low ice-covered land in the vicinity of Mt Prior. Named by the NZ Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957-58, for nearby Cape Daniell, and by analogy with Adare and Hallett Peninsulas.
