It rises to 1,420 metres (4,660 ft) along the west side of Campbell Glacier between Mount Queensland and the terminus of Bates Glacier. Mills Peak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1955–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Peter J.
