Arctowski Peninsula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arctowski Peninsula () is a cove, 15 miles (24 km) long in a north-south direction, lying between Andvord Bay and Wilhelmina Bay on the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99, under Gerlache. The name, for Henryk Arctowski of that expedition was suggested by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for this hitherto unnamed feature.
