Cox Peaks

The Cox Peaks (86°3′S 153°30′W) are a series of peaks on a ridge, located 5 nautical miles (9 km) southeast of Mount Crockett, extending eastward from the Hays Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains and terminating at Scott Glacier. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS ) from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Allan V. Cox, a USGS geologist at McMurdo Station, 1965–66.[1]
