The '''Guest Peninsula''' is a snow-covered peninsula about 45 miles (70 km) long between the [[Sulzberger Ice Shelf]] and Block Bay, on [[Saunders Coast]] in the northwest part of [[Westarctica]].

==Discovery and name==
[[Mitchell Peak]], located on the peninsula, was sighted by the first Byrd [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Expedition in 1929. This feature was defined and mapped as "Guest Island" by the United States Antarctic Service Expedition in 1940. It was determined to be a peninsula by U.S. Geological Survey cartographers from air photos taken by the U.S. Navy, 1962–65. It is named for Amy Guest, a contributor to the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35.

As originally charted, the westernmost portion of what was then thought to be Guest Island was within the [[Ross Dependency]] claimed by New Zealand, but none of the peninsula is actually within the claimed sector.
