Snyder Peak

Snyder Peak (73°31′S 93°56′W) is a low ice-covered peak lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southwest of Anderson Dome in the Jones Mountains. It was mapped by the University of Minnesota Jones Mountains Party of 1960-61. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for David Snyder, an aviation electronics technician with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, and a crew member on pioneer flights of LC-47 Dakota aircraft from Byrd Station to the Eights Coast area in November 1961.
