Churchill Peninsula
Churchill Peninsula () is an ice-covered peninsula between Cabinet Inlet and Adie Inlet, extending some in a southeasterly direction from the east coast of Graham Land. The peninsula ends in Cape Alexander separating Oscar II Coast to the northeast from Foyn Coast to the southwest, and has its east coast indented by Zimen Inlet and Brentopara Inlet. The feature was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition and charted from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) during 1947. It was named by FIDS for Rt. Hon. (later Sir) Winston Churchill, M.P., Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the War Cabinet A war cabinet is a committee formed by a government in a time of war to efficiently and effectively conduct that war.

Graham Land
Graham Land is the portion of the Antarctic Peninsula that lies north of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz. This description of Graham Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the British Antarctic Place-names Committee and the US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in which the name "Antarctic Peninsula" was approved for the major peninsula of Antarctica, and the names Graham Land and Palmer Land for the northern and southern portions, respectively. The line dividing them is roughly 69 degrees south. Graham Land is named after Sir James R. G. Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty at the time of John Biscoe's exploration of the west side of Graham Land in 1832. It is claimed by Argentina (as part of Argentine Antarctica), Britain (as part of the British Antarctic Territory) and Chile (as part of the Chilean Antarctic Territory). Graham Land is the closest part of Antarctica to South America. Thus it is the usual destination for small ships taking pay ...
