🌊 Bellafronto Bight

The Brown Peninsula is a nearly ice-free peninsula, 10 nautical miles long and 4 nautical miles wide, which rises above the Ross Ice Shelf northward of Mount Discovery, to which it is connected by a low isthmus. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04 (BrNAE), which named it "Brown Island" because of its color and its island-like character. It was named it "Brown Peninsula" by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 after it was described a peninsula.
