Chorul Peninsula

Chorul Peninsula (Bulgarian: полуостров Чорул, romanized: poluostrov Chorul, IPA: [poɫuˈɔstrof ˈt͡ʃɔroɫ]) is the predominantly ice-covered 5.6 km wide peninsula projecting from Graham Coast, Antarctic Peninsula 5.6 km westwards into Beascochea Bay, and ending in Holst Point. Its shape was enhanced as a result of the adjacent Funk Glacier retreating during the last decade of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century.

Location of Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

The feature is named after the settlement of Chorul in Western Bulgaria.

gollark: The most I could do is probably include the blueness thing in a popular template and hope nobody notices.
gollark: All I've done for now is just make my user page mildly blue.
gollark: Some weirdness with background image URLs and esoteric selectors.
gollark: As I said, CSS can even do keylogging VERY VERY hackily.
