All Black Peak

All Black Peak (71°48′S 163°57′E) is the main peak in the Crown Hills at the southeast end of the Lanterman Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica, rising to 2,025 metres (6,644 ft) on the east side of the head of Johnstone Glacier in the Bowers Mountains. It was named because of its color by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983 on the suggestion of geologist M.G. Laird. The peak is situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
