| Daniell Peninsula (NZL) | 72° 50' 00.0" S | 169° 35' 00.0" E | Peninsula |

Name ID: 113100
Place ID: 3314
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. |

Place ID: 3314
The large peninsula between Cape Daniell and Cape Jones on the coast of Victoria Land. It is an elongated basalt dome similar to Adare and Hallett Peninsulas and rises to 2,000 meters. It is partly separated from the Victory Mountains by Whitehall Glacier, which is afloat in its lower reaches, but is joined to these mountains by the higher land in the vicinity of Mount Prior. Named by the NZGSAE, 1957-58, after Cape Daniell, and by analogy with Adare and Hallett Peninsulas. |
