Monteverdi Peninsula

Monteverdi Peninsula (72°30′S 72°0′W / 72.500°S 72.000°W / -72.500; -72.000) is a large ice-covered peninsula lying between the Bach Ice Shelf and George VI Sound, forming the southernmost extremity of Alexander Island, Antarctica.

The southern side of the feature was first seen and charted by Finn Ronne and Carl Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, who traversed the entire length of George VI Sound.

It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi.

Fauré Inlet is the only inlet that indents the south side of the peninsula, and is filled with flowing from the adjacent George VI Ice Shelf and George VI Sound.
