'''Graham Land''' is the portion of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]] that lies north of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz. This description of Graham Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the British Place-names Committee and the American Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in which the name "Antarctic Peninsula" was approved for the major peninsula of [[Antarctica]], and the names Graham Land and [[Palmer Land]] for the northern and southern portions, respectively.  The line dividing them is roughly 69 degrees south.
