History
Named by the Russian Hydrographic Dept. in 1853, who published it on Chart 1493 as "Berg Lindenberga," i.e. "Lindenberg Shore," referring to its eastern shore. The generic "peninsula" was given by W. H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), in 1883. This feature was named for the Russian, G. Lindenberg (complete name not available), who explored and surveyed in the Alexander Archipelago in 1838.
