Irregular ice-covered peninsula 26 mi long in a N-S direction and 5 to 12 mi wide. The peninsula rises gently to 305 m and projects E between the heads of Mason and Mossman Inlets, on the E coast of Palmer Land. First seen from the air in December 1940 by members of the USAS, who at that time photographed all but its N extremity. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the RARE, who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for Stanley W. Kemp, British marine biologist and oceanographer, first Director of Research of the Discovery Investigations, 1924-36, and Director of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, 1936-45.
