Tammann Peaks

Tammann Peaks (66°57′S 66°21′W) are peaks on Pernik Peninsula, Loubet Coast in Graham Land, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Orford Cliff and a like distance east of Lallemand Fjord. Mapped from air photos taken by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Gustav H.J.A. Tammann, German physical chemist who (1900–1935) made important studies of the physical properties of ice.
