It is located at the head of Raudfjorden, where the fjord branches into Ayerfjorden to the west and Klinckowströmfjorden to the east of the peninsula. It is named after John Young Buchanan.[1][2] The mountain Buchanantoppen is located at the southern part of the peninsula, with Chauveaubreen to the west and Raudfjordbreen at the eastern side.
