Mohn Peaks (73°7′S 61°15′W / 73.117°S 61.25°W) are two ice-covered peaks, the northern and southern 1,275 m and 1,230 m, respectively, standing 9 nautical miles (17 km) west-southwest of the head of Mason Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. First seen and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). During 1947 the peaks were photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted them from the ground. Named by the FIDS for Henrik Mohn.
