Delta Peak (86°35′S 147°30′W / 86.583°S 147.5°W) is a very sharp peak marking a pronounced corner point on Ackerman Ridge, 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of Mount Gjertsen, in La Gorce Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. So named by New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1969-70, because as seen from the south the colorful rock strata present a well visible form that is suggestive of the Greek letter "Delta."
