Amphibole Peak (84°44′S 173°26′W / 84.733°S 173.433°W / -84.733; -173.433) is, at 1,660 metres (5,450 ft), the highest peak in the Gabbro Hills, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Mount Llano, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was so named 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]
