Trinity Peninsula

Prime Head is the northernmost point of this peninsula.

Some 20 kilometers southeast of Prime Head is Hope Bay with the year-round Argentinian Esperanza Base.

It was first sighted on 30 January 1820 by Edward Bransfield, Master, Royal Navy, immediately after his charting of the newly discovered South Shetland Islands nearby.

The recommended name derives from "Trinity Land", given by Bransfield during 1820 in likely recognition of the Corporation of Trinity House, Britain's historical maritime pilotage authority, although the precise application by him has not been identified with certainty and is a matter of different interpretation by Antarctic historians.
