It defines the boundary between the [[Bakutis Coast]] to the west of Cape Herlacher, and the [[Walgreen Coast]] to the east. [[Glade Bay]] and [[Sweeny Inlet]] are on its west side, which is the eastern limit of the [[Getz Ice Shelf]]. The [[Dotson Ice Shelf]] extends east from its eastern side.{{sfn|Martin Peninsula USGS}} The [[Kohler Range]] is to its south.{{sfn|Toney Mountain USGS}} The 1960 ''Sailing Directions for Antarctica'' described the peninsula as follows: {{quote|Martin Peninsula projects about 70 miles northward from the mainland terminating in two smaller peninsulas formed by an inlet 15 miles long. Cape Harlacher is the northern extremity of the northwestern peninsula. From Cape Herlacher to [[Cape Flying Fish]], about 190 miles westward, the coast is indented by a very large bay and a smaller bay, the two separated by an anvil-shaped peninsula 65 miles broad in its seaward front. The very large bay is formed between the western side of the Martin Peninsula and the eastern side of the anvil-shaped peninsula.{{sfn|Sailing Directions for Antarctica|pp=216β217}}}}
