Stansbury Peninsula

Stansbury Peninsula (-62.24008°N, -58.99758°W) is an ice-free peninsula on the north coast of Nelson Island between Edgell Bay and Fildes Strait, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geological work, 1975–76, after Michael J. Stansbury, Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) meteorologist at Grytviken, 1958–59, and Base Leader at Admiralty Bay, 1959–60. A later Polish Antarctic Expedition called this feature "Wzgorze Helikoptera" or "Helicopter Hills" in reference to successful helicopter landings in the 1980–81 season.
