Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula

Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula (coord|68|35|S|63|50|W|), an ice-covered spur from the main mountain mass of the Antarctic Peninsula, projects over 40 miles in a northeast arc from its base between Mobiloil Inlet and Casey Inlet. It was discovered and partially photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on his 1935 trans-Antarctic flight from Dundee Island to the Ross Sea, and later photographed from the air and charted from the ground by the US Antarctic Service (USAS) in 1940.

It was named for Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, pilot on Ellsworth's flight in 1935, whose demonstration of the practicability of landing and taking off an airplane in isolated areas constitutes a distinct contribution to the technique of Antarctic exploration.
