The Priddy Promontory (in China Jiulong Bandao ) is the eastern two peninsulas southwest of the Stornes peninsula on the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . It protrudes from the Larsemann Hills into Prydz Bay .
Norwegian cartographers, who named it in connection with the Tonagh Promontory as the Storneskloa , mapped it using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it in 1988 after Richard Priddy, a medic at Casey Station in the Antarctic winter of 1981 and deputy head of an ANARE campaign on the Larsemann Hills between 1987 and 1988.
