Thatcher Peninsula

She was described by Sir Vivian Fuchs, chair of the Foreign Office's Antarctic Place Names Committee, as 'a major figure in the history of South Georgia', for her role in the Falklands War.

Maiviken and its surrounding features were first charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (SAE), 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjold.

These three smaller coves were resurveyed by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel in 1929 and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1951.

Probably first sighted by the 1775 British expedition under Captain James Cook which explored the north coast of South Georgia.

[10] On the northern portion of the peninsula, Camp Peak rises to about 1,080 ft (330 m) on the west side of Maiviken.

The name appears to be first used on a 1906 British Admiralty chart and is probably for Lieutenant P. Spencer, who surveyed in Cumberland Bay from HMS Sappho in 1906.

[13] Mount Duse stands 505 metres (1,660 ft) high, approximately 0.86 nmi (1.6 km) south of Spencer Peak surmounting King Edward Point.

[15] Several freshwater lakes and ponds are located along the east and southeast shores of Maiviken, all named by UK-APC.

It was named after Reverend Kristen Løken, a Norwegian Lutheran minister from Lillehammer, the first appointed pastor of South Georgia.

It is the largest, and at 39 metres (128 ft) deep, also the deepest of the small freshwater lakes in the Maiviken area.
