Starr Peninsula (72°1′S 99°31′W) is an ice-covered peninsula about 10 nautical miles (18 km) long, between Wagoner and Potaka Inlets on the north side of Thurston Island. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert B. Starr, oceanographer aboard the USS Glacier in this area during the U.S. Navy Bellingshausen Sea Expedition in February 1960.
