-'''Palmer Land''' is that portion of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]] that lies south of a line joining [[Cape Jeremy]] and [[Cape Agassiz]]. This application of Palmer Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names and UK-APC, 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.
