Starr Peninsula is an ice-covered peninsula about 10 nautical miles long, between Wagoner and Potaka Inlets on the north side of Thurston Island. Delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert B. Starr, oceanographer aboard the USS Glacier in this area during the U.S. Navy Bellingshausen Sea Expedition in February 1960.
