Isn't this the part of Antarctica which sees the most tourism? And has actually had some people born there?-- MacRusgail 00:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
It seems to be pointing at South America, did they ever fit together? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.10.42 ( talk) 21:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if it would be useful to substitute (or add) the Antarctica map which heads up the main Antarctica article. (Should that be the Antarcticle?)
That map is very useful because it places the peninsula (and the continent) in a geographical context as part of the rest of the world, not in isolation.
You can see the peninsula's relation to the southern tip of South America, and the Geography comment about the extension of the Andes becomes more meaningful. The reader will also understand that the sea gap between the peninsula and Cape Horn is comparatively narrow, and that the peninsula extends into geographically familiar regions.
I don't want to interfere with a good article by doing it myself. Michael of Lucan ( talk) 13:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
As I have said, it is a fine article, and my only desire is to make it even better.
I have a concern that many maps in Antarctica articles show the continent accurately but in isolation from the rest of the world. Standard "Mercator-type" maps of the world give only a meaningless distortion of the continent, and I suspect many readers won't know the peninsula is close to South America.
To clarify my thinking, I would suggest replacing the second map (Location of Antarctic Peninsula) with the map which heads up the main Antarctica article, but with a red square to highlight the peninsula, exactly as in the second map. In effect, just zooming the second map out slightly to show where the peninsula is in relation to the rest of the world, as well as its own continent.

A possible spelling mistake. Can anyone check if the text on the climate is correct? I think where it reads 63ºS it should read instead 73ºS. Otherwise it does not make sense the text, because the descriptions seems to imply 63ºS is colder than 68ºS, which is obviously not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.155.119.105 ( talk) 10:05, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Which way is north when you at the south pole? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longinus876 ( talk • contribs) 17:30, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
