Papua Beach
Papua Beach (-54.25°N, -36.56667°W) is a beach 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long on the southeast shore of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The name derives from "Papua Cove," now an obsolete name, applied for a minor recession of the shore of this beach by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Nordenskjold, 1901-04, because a colony of gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) was found there. The cove was called "Pinguinbucht" on a 1907 chart by A. Szielasko, and the form Penguin Bay appears on some later charts. Following this survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the beach now described, rather than the cove or bay, is the significant feature for which a name is required.

The name "Ile Pavie" was given in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot to an island, or possible cape, shown on the French Antarctic Expedition maps in 6827S, 6640W. From a position 15 nautical miles (28 km) southeast of Jenny Island, Maurice Bongrain, French Antarctic Expedition surveyor, made sketches of this feature which were labeled "Ile Pavie" and "Cap Pavie." This general area was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, but the feature named by Charcot was not identified. Following further surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948, Charcot's "Ile Pavie" was identified from Bongrain's sketches as the feature now named Red Rock Ridge. The name Red Rock Ridge is now too firmly established to alter. The name Pavie Ridge has therefore been approved for the isolated rocky ridge described above as forming the south limit of Bertrand Ice Piedmont, and whose position is not far removed from the original position indicated by Charcot. Named by Charcot, presumably for Auguste J.M. Pavie (1847-1925), French diplomat and explorer.

Named in 1992 by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Richard A. Pearsall, cartographer, United States Geological Survey (USGS); member of the USGS geodetic control party to the Ellsworth Mountains in the 1979-80 season; additional work during the season at South Pole Station, determining the true position of the Geographic South Pole.

Pearse Valley
Pearse Valley (-77.71667°N, 161.53333°W) is an ice-free valley 3 miles long, lying immediately west of Catspaw Glacier, at the south side of the Asgard Range in Victoria Land. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for John S. Pearse, biologist at McMurdo Station, 1961, and the season 1961-62.

Pearson Peak
Pearson Peak (-75.9°N, -140.95°W) is a rock peak rising 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of McGaw Peak on the ridge that trends south from Mount McCoy, coastal Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Herbert E. Pearson, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geomagnetician and seismologist at Byrd Station, 1963.

Pearson Point
Pearson Point (-54.01667°N, -38.08333°W) is a point forming the southwest extremity of Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. The name appears on a 1921 British Admiralty chart.

Pearson Spur
Pearson Spur (-69.71667°N, -70.41667°W) is a spur extending southeast from Elgar Uplands toward the head of Sibelius Glacier, north Alexander Island. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in 1947, roughly mapped from air photographs by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1959, and surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1973-77. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1980 after Martin Robert Pearson, BAS glaciologist, 1970-73, who worked on Alexander Island, 1971-72.

Mount Pearson
Mount Pearson (-72.28333°N, 166.71667°W) is a prominent snow peak (2,440 m) situated at the west side of the mouth of Lensen Glacier where the latter joins Pearl Harbor Glacier, in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. Named by the northern party of NZFMCAE, 1962-63, for F.H. Pearson, surveyor with the party.

Mount Peary
Mount Peary (-65.25°N, -63.86667°W) is a conspicuous massif, 1,900 m, with a flat, snow-covered summit several miles in extent, surmounted by a marginal peak on the west, standing 7 nautical miles (13 km) east-northeast of Cape Tuxen and dominating the area between Wiggins and Bussey Glaciers on the west coast of Graham Land. Discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, under Charcot and named by him for R. Admiral Robert E.

Pebbly Mudstone Island
Pebbly Mudstone Island (-63.3°N, -57.85°W) is a small island in the southeast part of Duroch Islands. It lies 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) southwest of Halpern Point, Trinity Peninsula. Named by Martin Halpern, leader of the University of Wisconsin (USARP) party during geological mapping of this area, 1961-62. The principal outcrop of pebbly mudstone was found on this island and provides valuable data to the geologic history of the region. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Mount Pechell
Mount Pechell (-71.08333°N, 167.26667°W) is a peak (1,360 m) surmounting the west end of Hedgpet Heights in the Anare Mountains.

Peck Range
Peck Range (-72.33333°N, -62.7°W) is a range of mountains, ridges and hills, 11 nautical miles (20 km) long north-south and 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, in the west part of Du Toit Mountains, Black Coast, Palmer Land. The feature rises to about 1,700 m and is bounded to the south by a high snowfield, and to the east and west by unnamed north-flowing glaciers that coalesce at the north end of the range, south of Mount Wever. The range was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy aerial photographs taken 1966-69 and was visited by a USGS-BAS joint field party, 1986-87. In association with the names of geologists grouped in this area, named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1988 after Dallas Lynn Peck, geologist, a world authority on igneous rocks, including granites; eleventh director of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1981-93; previously, Chief Geologist of the Geologic Division, USGS. Bedrock in the range is almost entirely made up of a coarse-grained fresh granite batholith.
