Ulu Peninsula
Ulu Peninsula (63°56′S 58°5′W / 63.933°S 58.083°W) is that portion of James Ross Island northwest of the narrow neck of land between Rohss Bay and Croft Bay, extending from Cape Obelisk to Cape Lachman, in Antarctica.
Ulu Peninsula forms the northwest of James Ross Island. It is separated from Trinity Peninsula, at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula to the west, by the Prince Gustav Channel. Vega Island is to the east of the peninsula.
Ulu Peninsula was named descriptively by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1987. In plan view the cove is shaped like an ulu, a type of knife traditionally used by Inuit women.
Features to the southwest of Holluschickie Bay include, from south to north,
64°06′S 58°21′W / 64.100°S 58.350°W. An irregularly shaped system of crags with arms extending in four directions, rising to 650 metres (2,130 ft) high east of Rum Cove. Named descriptively by the UK-APC in 1987.
64°06′S 58°25′W / 64.100°S 58.417°W. A cove indenting the northwest coast of James Ross Island between Tumbledown Cliffs and Cape Obelisk. Named in 1983 by the UK-APC in association with the names of other alcoholic spirits on this coast.
64°05′S 58°27′W / 64.083°S 58.450°W. Conspicuous rock cliffs on the west coast of James Ross Island, about 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) north of Cape Obelisk. Probably first seen by Doctor Otto Nordenskjold in 1903. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1945. The name given by UK-APC is descriptive of the formation of the scree slope at the foot of these cliffs.
64°05′S 58°24′W / 64.083°S 58.400°W. A col running N-S at 150 metres (490 ft) high between Gin Cove and Rum Cove, in the west part of James Ross Island. Crisscross Crags rise at the east side of the col. In association with names in this area from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, named after Kerick Booterin, chief of the seal hunters in The White Seal. Named by the UK-APC in 1983.
