Jetty Peninsula
Jetty Peninsula is an elongated, steep-sided, almost flat-topped peninsula that extends northward from just east of Beaver Lake for about 30 miles into the Amery Ice Shelf. After an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft discovered it in 1956, ANCA named the formation for its resemblance to a jetty.[1]
