Nipple Peak (64°47′S 63°17′W / 64.783°S 63.283°W / -64.783; -63.283) is a peak, 675 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Channel Glacier in the north part of Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The name, which suggests the shape of the feature, was given by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who mapped the peak in 1944.
