Hall Peninsula is a small ice-free peninsula on the southeast coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The feature is scissors shaped with its north and south arms extending 800 m and 750 m respectively, with Ivaylo Cove lying in between. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
