Simpson Peak

Simpson Peak (coord|67|43|S|50|7|E|) is a peak, 1,720 m, just east of Mount George in the southwest end of the Scott Mountains in Antarctica. The Scott Mountains are a subset of the Enderby Land Coast Ranges, which in turn are a subset of the Wilkes Land Coast Ranges of Australian Antarctic Territory, East Antarctica.

Discovered in January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under D. Mawson. He named it for Sir George C. Simpson. The position of the feature was fixed by J.C. Armstrong of ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1959.
