Narrative

A snow-covered peninsula about 45 mi long between Sulzberger Ice Shelf and Block Bay in the NW part of Marie Byrd Land. Mitchell Peak, located on the peninsula, was sighted by the ByrdAE in 1929. This feature was defined and mapped as an island by the USAS in 1940. It was determined to be a peninsula by U.S. Geological Survey cartographers from air photos taken by the U.S. Navy, 1962-65. Named for Amy Guest, contributor to the ByrdAE, 1933-35.
