Map of the peninsula, showing Palmer Land to the south and Graham Land to the north

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.
