'''Andersson Island''' ({{coor dm|63|35|S|56|35|W|}}) is an [[island]] 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) south of [[Jonassen Island]] at the west side of the south entrance to [[Antarctic Sound]], off the northeast tip of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. This island was named [[Uruguay Island]] by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold, after the Argentine ship Uruguay which participated in the rescue of the ship-wrecked Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1903. In 1904, the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, apparently unaware of the Swedish naming, gave the name Uruguay to an island off the west coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Since it is confusing to have two islands in close proximity identically named, and because Charcot's Uruguay Island has appeared more widely on maps and in reports, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) accepts the decision of the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) that the name given this island by Nordenskjold be altered. The new name commemorates [[J. Gunnar Andersson]], who was second-in-command of Nordenskjold's expedition.

Both expeditions believed the [[peak]] rising just south of the cape to be the same as that discovered on [[March 16]], [[1831]] and named Cape Ann by [[John Biscoe]].

'''Antarctic Peninsula''' ({{coor dm|69|30|S|65|0|W|}}) is the major [[peninsula]] of Antarctica, extending from [[Prime Head]] in the north to a line between [[Cape Adams]] and a point on the mainland coast south of [[Eklund Islands]].

Agreement on this name by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) and [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1964 resolved a long-standing difference involving use of the American name, [[Palmer Peninsula]], and the British name, [[Graham Land]], for this feature. (Graham Land is now restricted to that part of Antarctic Peninsula northward of a line between [[Cape Jeremy]] and [[Cape Agassiz]]; [[Palmer Land]] to the part southward of that line.)
