Grizzly Peak (Antarctica)

Grizzly Peak (Antarctica)

Grizzly Peak (coord|85|58|S|151|22|W|) is a peak rising to 2,200 m on the southwest flank of Mount Zanuck, in the Gothic Mountains, Queen Maud Mountains. The feature was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party and was included in "Darryl Zanuck Mountain." The granite of this peak is highly jointed and fairly bristles with small spires, suggestive of the coat of a grizzly bear.
