Krieger Peak (71°46′S 70°35′W) is a peak between Duffy Peak and The Obelisk in the central part of the Staccato Peaks, southern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The peak was photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Charles J.
