Canisteo Peninsula (73°48′S 102°20′W / 73.800°S 102.333°W / -73.800; -102.333) is an ice-covered peninsula, about 30 miles (50 km) long and 20 miles (30 km) wide, which projects between Ferrero Bay and Cranton Bay into the eastern extremity of the Amundsen Sea. It was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the USS Canisteo, a tanker with the eastern task group of this expedition.
