**Landmark Peak** ([79°10′S 85°40′W](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=79_10_S_85_40_W)) is a very prominent [peak](/source/Summit_(topography)), 1,840 metres (6,040 ft) high, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of [Minnesota Glacier](/source/Minnesota_Glacier) on the east side of [Gowan Glacier](/source/Gowan_Glacier), in the [Heritage Range](/source/Heritage_Range), Antarctica. It was named by the [University of Minnesota](/source/University_of_Minnesota) Geological Party to these mountains in 1963–64 because the peak is a well used reference point for pilots flying in the area.[1]
