Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula. Pefaur Peninsula in center

Pefaur Peninsula lies on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The peninsula is bounded by Hughes Bay to the northeast and Charlotte Bay to the south, and is separated from Brabant Island to the northwest by the Gerlache Strait. The Herbert Plateau is to the southeast. Murray Island (Bluff Island) is to the north. Valdivia Point stands at its northern extremity.[2]

Name edit

Pefaur Peninsula is named for Jaime E. Pefaur, a biologist from the University of Chile, who carried out studies of edaphic mesofauna in Antarctica, aboard the AGS. Yelcho of the Chilean Navy, during the Chilean Antarctic Expedition of 1967-1968. Argentina calls it the Península Ventimiglia (Twenty Miles Peninsula).[1]
