Description

Two rocky peaks rising to 500 m NW of Mount Grieg on Derocher Peninsula, Alexander Island. A number of peaks in this vicinity first appear on maps by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48. These peaks, apparently included within that group, were mapped from Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) air photos by Searle of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) after Modeste Mussorgsky (1839-81), Russian composer.
