Grew Peak

Grew Peak (75°18′S 110°37′W) is a peak over 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) high, one of several named peaks on the Mount Murphy massif in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The feature is located on the northeast spur of the massif, between Benedict Peak and the loftier summit peaks. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Edward Grew, a U.S. Exchange Scientist to the Soviet Molodyozhnaya Station in 1973.[1]
