Mink Peak

Mink Peak (86°14′S 129°56′W) is a prominent peak standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Cleveland Mesa, at the east end of the Watson Escarpment in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Harold D. Mink, a utilitiesman with the wintering parties at Byrd Station in 1962 and 1966.[1]
