The Wollaston Peninsula (previously, Wollaston Land)[1] is a west-pointing peninsula located on southwestern Victoria Island, Canada.
It is bordered by Prince Albert Sound to the north, Amundsen Gulf to the west and Dolphin and Union Strait to the south.
[2] In 1826, its south coast was seen by John Richardson[3] and his surveyor Edward Nicholas Kendall,[4] and was named Wollaston Land, in honour of the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston, who discovered the elements palladium and rhodium.
