Hurd Peninsula

The Spanish Juan Carlos I Antarctic Base and the Bulgarian St. Kliment Ohridski Base are situated on its west coast.

The peninsula was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 for Captain Thomas Hurd, Royal Navy, the second Hydrographer to the British Admiralty, 1808–23, who instituted a regular system of nautical surveys, and under whose authority Lieutenant Edward Bransfield's 1820 survey of the Bransfield Strait area was published in November 1822.

[1] The midpoint of the peninsula is located at 62°40′33″S 60°21′59″W / 62.67583°S 60.36639°W / -62.67583; -60.36639 (Detailed Spanish mapping in 1991, and Bulgarian in 2005 and 2009).
