Schmidt Peninsula

Schmidt Peninsula (63°19′S 57°54′W) is a small peninsula connected by a low isthmus to Cape Legoupil, Trinity Peninsula. Its western extremity is Bahamonde Point.

The peninsula was named by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition of 1947-48 for Captain Hugo Schmidt Prado, Chilean Army, the first commander of Base Bernardo O'Higgins established in 1948 on this peninsula.
