It consists of a ridge of an average height of 143m surmounted by a number of cones and volcanic stumps. Of these Crater Hill is the largest. Stretching towards Mt Discovery, it curiously parallels the peninsulas of Minna Bluff and Brown Island. The NAE, 1901-04, built its hut on Hut Point at the south end of the peninsula. Members of the BAE, 1910-13, wintering on Cape Evans, came to refer to this feature as Hut Point Peninsula. Not Cape Armitage Promontory or Winter Quarters Peninsula.
