Magga Peak (69°10′S 157°11′E) is a triangular "flatiron" shaped wall of sheer rock forming the end of the northernmost of the Burnside Ridges in Antarctica, the summit being a sharp point. It was photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in 1947. A first landing from a ship was made on February 20, 1959 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (Magga Dan) led by Phillip Law.
