King Peninsula: Difference between revisions

'''King Peninsula''' ({{coord|72|12|S|100|15|W|}}) is an ice-covered peninsula, 100 miles long and 20 miles wide, lying south of [[Thurston Island]] and forming the south side of [[Peacock Sound]]. It projects from the continental ice sheet and trends west between the [[Abbot Ice Shelf]] and [[Cosgrove Ice Shelf]] to terminate at [[Amundsen Sea]]. The feature was photographed from the air by USN [[Operation Highjump]], 1946–47, and was plotted from these photos as a long island, or possible peninsula. Photos taken by USN in 1966 show it is a peninsula.
