Potter Peninsula

Potter Peninsula is a low ice-free peninsula between Potter Cove and Stranger Point in south-west King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica.

It is protected as ASPA 132, largely because of the richness and diversity of its flora and fauna.

[1] The peninsula was named "Peninsula Potter", in association with Potter Cove, by Chilean geologists Roberto Araya and Francisco Hervé in 1966, following field work there.

Other species found nesting at the site are south polar skuas, southern giant petrels, black-bellied and Wilson's storm petrels, Cape petrels, imperial shags, snowy sheathbills, brown skuas, kelp gulls and Antarctic terns.
