Karte der Region. Die Three Sails befinden sich etwa in der Mitte der Karte.

Die Three Sails (engl. drei Segel) sind drei Nunataks, die am südlichen Ende der Heritage-Range-Bergkette des westantarktischen Ellsworthgebirges aus dem Gletschereis aufragen. Sie liegen etwa 6 Meilen (ca. 9,7 Kilometer) östlich der Redpath Peaks.

Ihren Namen erhielten die Erhebungen von einer geologischen Forschungsexpedition der University of Minnesota, welche die Gegend in den Jahren 1963-64 besuchte. Der Name wurde 1966 vom Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names offiziell angenommen.
