Christie Peaks

The Christie Peaks are a conspicuous group of sharp peaks located immediately south of the terminus of Ryder Glacier on the west coast of Palmer Land on the Antarctic Peninsula. The group was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Timothy J.C. Christie, British Antarctic Survey surveyor at Stonington Island, 1970–71.
