Mossman Peninsula is a narrow peninsula 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, extending south from the western part of Laurie Island and separating Scotia Bay and Wilton Bay, in the South Orkney Islands of Antarctica.
Powell's map, published in 1822, provided the earliest rough charting of the area.
[1][2] The peninsula was later surveyed in 1903 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, led by William Speirs Bruce.
[3] Mossman Peninsula's rugged terrain is characterized by rocky outcrops and ice-covered areas, typical of the Antarctic environment.
The peninsula is largely uninhabited, with its remote location and harsh weather conditions limiting human activity to scientific research.
