A mountainous, ice-covered peninsula, 30 mi long and 10 to 15 mi wide, between Odom Inlet and Hilton Inlet on the E coast of Palmer Land. The peninsula was first observed and photographed from the air in the course of the USAS "Condor" flight of Dec. 30, 1940 from the East Base with Black, Snow, Perce, Carroll and Dyer aboard. Named by US-ACAN after the twin-motored Curtiss-Wright "Condor" biplane in which personnel of the USAS, 1939-41, made numerous photographic flights and flights of discovery over Antarctic Peninsula, George VI Sound, Alexander and Charcot Islands and the Bellingshausen Sea between latitudes 6730S and 7400S. The peninsula was mapped in detail by USGS in 1974.
