Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula

Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula (Bulgarian: Полуостров Йоан Павел II, romanized: Poluostrov Yoan Pavel II, IPA: [poɫuˈɔstrof joˈan ˈpavɛɫ ˈftɔri]) is an ice-covered peninsula on the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica that is bounded by Hero Bay to the east and Barclay Bay to the west.

Its north extremity is formed by the ice-free Cape Shirreff, an area visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after Pope John Paul II (1920–2005) for his contribution to world peace and understanding among people.
