The name "Antarctic Peninsula" derives from its location within the Antarctic region, which is characterized by its extreme cold and ice. The term "Antarctic" comes from the Greek word "antarktikos," meaning "opposite to the Arctic." The peninsula itself is a prominent landmass that extends toward South America, and its naming reflects its geographical significance as part of the larger Antarctic continent. Explorers and cartographers in the 19th century solidified the name as they mapped the region.
