It was charted in 1903 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under Bruce, who named it for G.L. Watson, yacht designer and redesigner of the expedition ship Scotia. Important Bird AreaThe peninsula has been identified an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 13,000 pairs of chinstrap penguins. Other birds nesting at the site include Adélie and gentoo penguins as well as southern giant petrels.[1] References1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.birdlife.org |title= Watson Peninsula, Laurie Island|accessdate=2013-01-22 |work= BirdLife data zone: Important Bird Areas |first= |last= |publisher= BirdLife International |year= 2013}} {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{Important Bird Areas of Antarctica}}{{coord|60|42|S|44|32|W|display=title}}{{SouthOrkneys-geo-stub}} 3 : Peninsulas of the South Orkney Islands|Important Bird Areas of Antarctica|Seabird colonies |
