Расположение
[ редактировать ]
Квинс -полуостров находится на Черном побережье Пальмера Ланд , рядом с морем Уэдделла на востоке. Имшаугский полуостров и вход Лерке на севере. Остров Моренци и более крупный остров Стил на северо -востоке. На юге полуостров Квинг ограничен ледником Кауфмана, который течет из Синглтона Нунатака в Палмер. Рот Палмера Инлет находится между Кейп Мисельман на Фостер -полуострове на юге и мысом Брайантом на севере на полуострове Квин. На западе получите ледник на северо -востоке, протекает в море мимо Синглтона Нунатака и Маршалла. К нему присоединяется Мерриш Глант слева (запад), который, в свою очередь, присоединяется к Guard Glacier. Особенности на Западе включают Neshyba Peak, Stockton Peak и Abendroth Peak. [ 2 ]
Mapping and name
[edit]The Kvinge Peninsula was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Thor Kvinge, a Norwegian oceanographer from the University of Bergen. Kvinge was a member of the International Weddell Sea Oceanographic Expeditions, 1968, 1969 and 1970.[1]
Glaciers
[edit]Kauffman Glacier
[edit]71°15′S 61°18′W / 71.250°S 61.300°W. Broad, smooth glacier, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long, flowing eastward into the head of Palmer Inlet. Mapped by USGS in 1974. Named by US-ACAN for Thomas A. Kauffman, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) biologist and Station Scientific Leader at Palmer Station in 1973.[3]
Gain Glacier
[edit]71°01′S 61°25′W / 71.017°S 61.417°W. A large glacier flowing northeast from Cat Ridge and entering the Weddell Sea between Imshaug Peninsula and Morency Island. Mapped by USGS in 1974. Named by US-ACAN for Louis Gain, naturalist on the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, author of several of the expedition reports on zoology and botany.[4]
Cat Ridge
[edit]71°10′S 61°50′W / 71.167°S 61.833°W. A ridge in the middle of Gain Glacier. A descriptive name applied by US-ACAN. When viewed from northeastward, the limbs of the ridge are suggestive of a sprawling cat.[5]
Murrish Glacier
[edit]71°02′S 61°45′W / 71.033°S 61.750°W. A glacier about 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) long. It drains east-northeast, to the north of Stockton Peak and Abendroth Peak, and merges with the north side of Gain Glacier before the latter enters Weddell Sea opposite Morency Island. Named by US-ACAN for David E. Murrish, USARP biologist, party leader for the study of peripheral vascular control mechanisms in birds in the Antarctic Peninsula region for three seasons, 1972-75.[6]
Guard Glacier
[edit]71°01′S 62°10′W / 71.017°S 62.167°W. A broad tributary glacier that drains east along the south margin of Parmelee Massif to join Murrish Glacier, on the east side of Palmer Land. Mapped by USGS in 1974. Named by US-ACAN for Charles L. Guard, USARP biologist who (with David E. Murrish) made investigations of peripheral vascular control mechanisms in birds in the Antarctic Peninsula region for three seasons, 1972-75.[7]
Eastern features
[edit]Singleton Nunatak
[edit]71°15′S 61°36′W / 71.250°S 61.600°W. A nunatak located directly west of the head of Kauffman Glacier. Named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after David G. Singleton, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist who worked in the general vicinity of this feature.[8]
Palmer Inlet
[edit]71°15′S 61°10′W / 71.250°S 61.167°W. An ice-filled inlet 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long, lying between Cape Bryant and Cape Musselman. Essentially rectangular in shape, it is bordered by almost vertical cliffs. Discovered by members of East Base of the USAS who explored this coast by land and from the air in 1940. Named for Robert Palmer, assistant to the meteorologist at the East Base. [9]
Cape Musselman
[edit]71°17′S 61°00′W / 71.283°S 61.000°W Cape forming the south side of the entrance to Palmer Inlet. Discovered by members of the USAS who explored this coast by land and from the air from East Base in 1940. Named for Lytton C. Musselman, member of the East Base party which sledged across Dyer Plateau to the vicinity of Mount Jackson, which stands inland from this cape.[10]
Cape Bryant
[edit]71°12′S 60°55′W / 71.200°S 60.917°W. High, snow-covered cape forming the north side of the entrance to Palmer Inlet. Discovered by members of East Base of the USAS who explored this coast by land and from the air in 1940. Named by the USAS for Herwil M. Bryant of the Smithsonian Institution, biologist with the East Base party.[11]
Morency Island
[edit]71°02′S 61°09′W / 71.033°S 61.150°W. An island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long, lying close west of Steele Island and 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) northwest of Cape Bryant. Discovered by members of the East Base of the USAS who explored this coast by land and from the air in 1940. Named for Anthony J.L. Morency, tractor driver for the East Base.[12]
Steele Island
[edit]71°00′S 60°40′W / 71.000°S 60.667°W. A snow-covered island, 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) long from east to west and 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) wide, rising above the Larsen Ice Shelf, 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) southeast of Cape Sharbonneau. The steeply-sloping sides of the island are crevassed, but no rock is exposed. Discovered by members of East Base of the USAS in 1940. Named for Clarence E. Steele, tractor driver for the East Base.[13]
Western features

A peak, 1,205 metres (3,953 ft) high, which is ice covered except for its rocky northeast side, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) northwest of the head of Palmer Inlet. This coast was first explored in 1940 by members of the USAS, but the peak was first charted by a joint party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) and Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947. Named by the FIDS for Norman B. Marshall, zoologist at the FIDS Hope Bay base in 1945-46.[14]
Neshyba Peak

Mapped by USGS in 1974. Named by US-ACAN for Stephen Neshyba, USARP oceanographer who studied the laminar structure of the bottom water in the Antarctic Peninsula area, 1972-73.[15]
