Lindenberg Peninsula

Lindenberg Peninsula

The Lindenberg Peninsula is a peninsula on the eastern coast of Kupreanof Island, Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska. It is separated from the main portion of the island by the Duncan Canal.

The peninsula was named in 1883 by navigator Lt. Vasiliev of the Imperial Russian Hydrographic Department after Russian geographer of Finnish origin G. Lindenberg. Lindenberg explored and surveyed the Alexander Archipelago in 1838.
