Archar Peninsula (Poluostrov Archar \po-lu-'os-trov ar-'char\) located in the North-Western extremity of Greenwich Island, Antarctica. The three km long peninsula is bounded by Razlog Cove to the North and McFarlane Strait to the South. The North-Western half of the peninsula is snow-free in summer. The peninsula is named after the settlement of Archar in Northwestern Bulgaria, successor of the ancient town of Ratiaria.
