Triangular, dome-shaped peninsula, 20 mi long, with 1,500 m cliffs on its E. seaboard side and 300 m on its W side. The peninsula extends from Cape Hallett to Cape Wheatstone and is joined to the mainland by a narrow ridge between Tucker Glacier and Edisto Inlet. So named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1957-58, because Hallett station on Seabee Hook was established at the N end of the peninsula.
