'''President Beaches''' ({{coor dm|62|39|S|61|9|W|}}) is a series of beaches which extend for 6 nautical miles (11 km) along the broad western end of [[Byers Peninsula]], [[Livingston Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name "[[West Beaches]]" was proposed by [[K.R. Everett]], [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) researcher who made a reconnaissance soil survey in the area during February 1969. The proposed name is locationally appropriate but would be repetitious. The [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) has chosen instead to restore a historical name to the vicinity. In the early part of the 1820-21 season, the Stonington sealers used the name "President's Harbor" (now [[New Plymouth]]) for the anchorage immediately off these beaches.

'''Prime Head''' ({{coor dm|63|13|S|57|17|W|}}) is a prominent snow-covered [[headland]] which forms the north extremity of [[Antarctic Peninsula]].

These mountains were first observed and photographed from a distance by airmen of [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. They were examined by several ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) parties and mapped in the years 1954-61. Named by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) in 1956 for [[Prince Charles]], heir apparent to the British throne.

'''Pyramid Trough''' ({{coor dm|78|18|S|163|27|E|}}) is a deep trough immediately west of [[The Bulwark]], through which a part of the [[Koettlitz Glacier]] formerly flowed north to [[Walcott Bay]]. Named by the [[Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition]] (VUWAE) (1960-61) for its proximity to [[The Pyramid]].

'''The Pyramid''' ({{coor dm|63|26|S|57|1|W|}}) is a pyramidal [[nunatak]], 565 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east of [[Mount Carroll]] and 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) southeast of the head of [[Hope Bay]], at the northeast end of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. Discovered and named by a party under [[J. Gunnar Andersson]] of the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04.

'''The Pyramid''' ({{coor dm|78|21|S|163|30|E|}}) is a small but distinctive [[peak]] just south of [[Pyramid Trough]], at the west side of the [[Koettlitz Glacier]]. The descriptive name appears to have been first used by the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13.

'''Pyramiden Nunatak''' ({{coor dm|72|17|S|3|48|W|}}) is a [[nunatak]] 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of [[Knallen Peak]], on the east side of the head of [[Schytt Glacier]] in [[Queen Maud Land]]. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by [[Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] (NBSAE) (1949-52) and named Pyramiden (the pyramid).

'''Pyrites Island''' ({{coor dm|61|55|S|57|59|W|}}) is the largest of three small islands lying southeast of [[Gam Point]] and forming the east side of [[Esther Harbor]], off the north coast of [[King George Island]] in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. In 1913-14, the rocky extremity of Gam Point and the adjoining islands to the northwest and southeast were named Esther, Pyritis (sic) or [[Pyritic Islands]] by Scottish geologist [[David Ferguson]], who reported they were composed of pyrites and vein quartz. From Ferguson's description it appears that the ice cliff behind the Gam Point has advanced since 1914 so that this "island" is now joined to the mainland. The highest and most conspicuous of the remaining islands is the one here described. The name Pyrites Island was recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1960 to avoid confusion with the other existing "Esther" names in the vicinity.

'''Pyrox Island''' ({{coor dm|68|12|S|66|41|W|}}) is an [[island]] lying at the head of [[Neny Fjord]], along the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First surveyed by the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS), 1939-41. Resurveyed in 1949 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), who so named it because of pyroxenic rocks found there.

'''Pyroxenite Promontory''' ({{coor dm|82|37|S|53|0|W|}}) is a promontory rising to about 1,150 m near the west end of [[Dufek Massif]] in the [[Pensacola Mountains]]. The feature is located west of [[Neuburg Peak]] and projects northwest toward [[Rautio Nunatak]]. The name was proposed by [[Arthur B. Ford]], leader of the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) geological party in the Pensacola Mountains, 1978-79, from the pyroxenite rock which forms a conspicuous dark layer along the cliffs of the promontory.

'''Pythagoras Peak''' ({{coor dm|66|59|S|51|20|E|}}) is a highest [[peak]], 1,275 m, in the central [[Tula Mountains]], standing along the north side of [[Beaver Glacier]], 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of [[Mount Storer]]. The peak has a prominent notch, the eastern aspect being a right-angled triangle with a perpendicular northern face. It was photographed from [[Mount Riiser-Larsen]] in February 1958 by ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) led by [[Phillip Law]], but was first visited and surveyed in December 1958 by [[G.A. Knuckey]], ANARE surveyor. Named by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) after Pythagoras, Greek philosopher, whose theorem concerning a right-angled triangle is well known.

'''Pythia Island''' ({{coor dm|64|32|S|61|59|W|}}) is an [[island]] 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long, the largest of a group of small islands off the east side of [[Enterprise Island]] in [[Wilhelmina Bay]], off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. Named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1960 after [[Christen Christensen]]'s whaling factory Pythia, which operated from nearby [[Gouvernoren Harbor]] during the 1921-22 whaling season.

'''Pyxis Ridge''' ({{coor dm|71|16|S|66|48|W|}}) is a narrow ridge of [[nunatak]]s separated by passes, located 5 nautical miles (9 km) north-northwest of [[Mount Cadbury]] from where it projects into the south side of [[Ryder Glacier]], in [[Palmer Land]]. Named by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) after the constellation of Pyxis.
