Arctowski Peninsula

The Arctowski Peninsula is on the Danco Coast along the west side of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It extends north-westwards from Andvord Bay, with a headland named Cape Anna.

This peninsula was mapped by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, and is named after Henryk Arctowski (1871-1958), from whom the Arctowski Nunatak is also named. Arctowski was an American meteorologist of Polish birth who served on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition and is author of many publications on Antarctic meteorology.

It was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in the 1956-57 season.
