Tabarin Peninsula
(Trinity Peninsula)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 63° 31' 59" S 57° W
the E extremity of Trinity Peninsula between Duse Bay and Antarctic Sound, bounded to NW by Depot Glacier and Mondor Glacier, and extending S to Erebus and Terror Gulf, was surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1902; resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay' in March 1946 and named after Operation 'Tabarin', the naval code name for the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1943-45, which name was in turn derived from the Paris night club Bal Tabarin, typifying night work and chaos in launching the operation. The peninsula was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay', 1960-62.
