Amphibole Peak (84°44′S 173°26′W / 84.733°S 173.433°W / -84.733; -173.433) is the highest peak in the Gabbro Hills, with an elevation of 1,660 metres (5,450 ft). It stands 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Mount Llano, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was given its name by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1963–64), because minerals of the Amphibole group were found on the peak.[1]
