Gourlay Peninsula
Gourlay Peninsula (60°44′S 45°36′W / 60.733°S 45.600°W) is an ice-free peninsula, which is 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) wide at its base and widens to 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km), forming the southeastern extremity of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The seaward end of the peninsula divides into three arms, Pantomime Point, Pageant Point, and Gourlay Point. It was surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Gourlay Point.[1]
