Geography
Whitney Point is a rocky point that marks the north side of the entrance to Powell Cove. When initially charted, it was thought to be a small island. It was named for photographer's mate I.A. Whitney of Operation Highjump. Powell Cove was named for aerographer James T. Powell. The westernmost extremity of the peninsula is rocky Stonehocker Point, which is the site of Wilkes Station. It was named for ionospheric scientist Garth H. Stonehocker. South of Stonehocker Point is Noonan Cove, named for photographer Paul F. Noonan. To the south, Newcomb Bay separates Clark Peninsula from Bailey Peninsula. Inland to the east, at the base of the peninsula are the Løken Moraines, a line of north-south trending moraines, or accumulations of glacial debris.
