Hall Peninsula is a small ice-free peninsula on the southeast coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The feature is scissors shaped with its north and south arms extending 800 m including Cacho Island and 750 m including Ogygia Island respectively, with Ivaylo Cove lying in between. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The peninsula is named after Captain Basil Hall, RN (1788–1844), a name originally applied by James Weddell to Snow Island.
Location
The peninsula is centred at 62°46′04.7″S 61°14′36.3″W which is 12.48 km northeast of Cape Conway and 5.08 km south-southwest of President Head (British mapping in 1825 and 1968, and Bulgarian in 2009).
