Felipe Solo (Obligado) Peninsula

Felipe Solo (Obligado) Peninsula is the heavily glaciated 13.5 km wide peninsula projecting 19.8 km in northwest direction from Danco Coast on the west side of Graham Land, Antarctica. It is bounded by Barilari Bay to the southwest and Bigo Bay to the northeast, ending in Cape Garcia to the northwest, and separated from Biscoe Islands to the northwest by Grandidier Channel.

The peninsula is named both by Argentina and Chile, in the latter case after the Chilean hydrographer Felipe Solo de Zaldívar.
