Mussorgsky Peaks

Mussorgsky Peaks (71°29′S 73°22′W / 71.483°S 73.367°W / -71.483; -73.367) are two rocky peaks rising to 500 m northwest of Mount Grieg on Derocher Peninsula, Alexander Island. A number of peaks in this vicinity first appear on maps by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48. These peaks, apparently included within that group, were mapped from RARE air photos by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Modeste Mussorgsky (1839–81), Russian composer.
