Stornes Peninsula (69°26′S 76°5′E) is a rocky, jagged peninsula about 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, projecting into Prydz Bay just west of Larsemann Hills. First mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Stornes (big promontory, or ness).

Outcrops of granulite facies pelitic gneiss and mafic granulite, which underwent a complicated deformational metamorphic history. Peak metamorphic assemblages are characterized by inclusions of cordierite and sillimanite in coarse-grained garnets or spinels in pelitic gneiss, and by inclusions of orthopyroxene and plagioclase in coarse-grained garnet in mafic granulite. Sapphirine-magnetite and sapphirine-spinel-sillimanite-magnetite-quartz assemblages are included in coarse-grained orthopyroxene in biotite-rich quartzite, and fine-grained spinel occurs as inclusions in this sapphirine.
