Jacobs Peninsula
Jacobs Peninsula is a massive peninsula, long and wide, extending east from Nash Range into the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The peninsula rises to over and is ice-covered except for fringing spurs, as at Cape May, the northeastern extremity. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Stanley S. Jacobs, an oceanographer at Columbia University's Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, who made physical/chemical observations in the Southern Ocean, including the Ross Sea area, between 1963 and 2000.
