Strong Peak

Strong Peak ist ein kleiner, spitzer Gipfel der Enterprise Hills in der westantarktischen Heritage Range. Der 1.310 m hohe Gipfel[1] liegt im südöstlichen Teil der Berggruppe, am westlichen Ende eines Berggrates, der sich vom Parrish Peak etwa 3 Meilen in westsüdwestlicher Richtung in das Horseshoe Valley hinein erstreckt.[2]

Holt Peak wurde von United States Geological Survey im Rahmen der Erfassung des Ellsworthgebirges in den Jahren 1961–66 durch Vermessungen vor Ort und Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy kartografiert. Benannt wurde der Gipfel vom Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names nach Jack E. Strong, einem Biologen des United States Antarctic Research Program, der 1965 auf der Palmer-Station arbeitete.[2]
