McGinnis Peak

McGinnis Peak (84°32′S 177°52′W) is a prominent peak, 1,270 metres (4,170 ft) high with a large, bare cirque in the north slope, near the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It stands just east of the lower part of Kosco Glacier and 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Oppegaard Spur. The peak was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, was surveyed by A.P. Crary in 1957–58, and was named by him for Lyle McGinnis, a seismologist with the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse Party in 1958–59.
