Pacific Point

'''Pacific Point''' ({{coor dm|56|19|S|27|36|W|}}) is a small rounded point on the northwest side of [[Zavodovski Island]] in the [[South Sandwich Islands]].

Pacific Point was recommended in 1953 by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) and is named for the American schooner Pacific which, under Captain [[James Brown]], visited Zavodovski Island in 1830, making a landing there.

Papua Beach

'''Papua Beach''' ({{coor dm|54|15|S|36|34|W|}}) is a beach 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long on the southeast shore of [[Cumberland West Bay]], [[South Georgia]]. The name derives from "[[Papua Cove]]," now an obsolete name, applied for a minor recession of the shore of this beach by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] under Nordenskjold, 1901-04, because a colony of gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) was found there. The [[cove]] was called "Pinguinbucht" on a 1907 chart by [[A. Szielasko]], and the form [[Penguin Bay]] appears on some later charts. Following this survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the beach now described, rather than the cove or [[bay]], is the significant feature for which a name is required.

Pavie Ridge

'''Pavie Ridge''' ({{coor dm|68|34|S|66|59|W|}}) is an isolated rocky ridge rising over 500 m, which extends south and west from [[Martin Glacier]] to [[Moraine Cove]], and forms the southeast limit of [[Bertrand Ice Piedmont]], on the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. The name "[[Ile Pavie]]" was given in 1909 by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot to an [[island]], or possible cape, shown on the French Antarctic Expedition maps in 6827S, 6640W. From a position 15 nautical miles (28 km) southeast of [[Jenny Island]], [[Maurice Bongrain]], French Antarctic Expedition surveyor, made sketches of this feature which were labeled "Ile Pavie" and "[[Cap Pavie]]." This general area was surveyed in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill, but the feature named by Charcot was not identified. Following further surveys by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1948, Charcot's "Ile Pavie" was identified from Bongrain's sketches as the feature now named [[Red Rock Ridge]]. The name Red Rock Ridge is now too firmly established to alter. The name Pavie Ridge has therefore been approved for the isolated rocky ridge described above as forming the south limit of Bertrand Ice Piedmont, and whose position is not far removed from the original position indicated by Charcot. Named by Charcot, presumably for [[Auguste J.M. Pavie]] (1847-1925), French diplomat and explorer.

'''Pear Island''' ({{coor dm|64|31|S|62|54|W|}}) is a small [[island]] lying immediately southwest of [[False Island]], off the northeast coast of [[Anvers Island]] in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. The existence of the island is noted on a British hydrographic chart of 1929; the name is presumably descriptive of shape and appears on a British hydrographic chart of 1952.

Pearce Dome

'''Pearce Dome''' ({{coor dm|71|19|S|68|20|W|}}) is a dome shaped [[mountain]] rising to 789 m that is snow and ice free on the north slopes and is situated about 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) west-northwest of [[Khufu Peak]] and 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) due east of [[Blodwen Peak]]. The feature was referred to descriptively as [[The Snow Dome]] in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and referred to as Dome by those working in the area. Named for [[C.J. Pearce]], a [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey Meteorologist]] who spent the first winter season (1961) at [[Fossil Bluff]] along with [[B.J. Taylor]] and [[J.P. Smith]].

Pearson Spur

'''Pearson Spur''' ({{coor dm|69|43|S|70|25|W|}}) is a spur extending southeast from [[Elgar Uplands]] toward the head of [[Sibelius Glacier]], north [[Alexander Island]]. Photographed from the air by [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE) in 1947, roughly mapped from air photographs by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1959, and surveyed by [[British Antarctic Survey]] (BAS), 1973-77.

Peck Range

'''Peck Range''' ({{coor dm|72|20|S|62|42|W|}}) is a range of mountains, ridges and hills, 11 nautical miles (20 km) long north-south and 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, in the west part of [[Du Toit Mountains]], [[Black Coast]], [[Palmer Land]]. The feature rises to about 1,700 m and is bounded to the south by a high snowfield, and to the east and west by unnamed north-flowing glaciers that coalesce at the north end of the range, south of [[Mount Wever]]. The range was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photographs taken 1966-69 and was visited by a USGS-BAS joint field party, 1986-87. In association with the names of geologists grouped in this area, named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1988 after [[Dallas Lynn Peck]], geologist, a world authority on igneous rocks, including granites; eleventh director of the [[U.S. Geological Survey]], 1981-93; previously, [[Chief Geologist]] of the [[Geologic Division]], USGS. Bedrock in the range is almost entirely made up of a coarse-grained fresh granite batholith.
