Hobbs Peak

Hobbs Peak (77°53′S 163°55′E) is a prominent peak, 1,510 metres (4,950 ft) high, on the divide between Hobbs Glacier and Blue Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It is the highest point on the east–west section of this dividing ridge. The peak was climbed by members of the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1960–61), who gave it this name from its nearness to Hobbs Glacier.[1]
