Beitzel Peak (80°17′S 82°18′W / 80.283°S 82.300°W / -80.283; -82.300) is a peak, 2,170 metres (7,120 ft) high,[citation needed] rising 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southeast of Minaret Peak in the Marble Hills, Heritage Range. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John E. Beitzel, a geophysicist on the United States Antarctic Research Program South Pole—Queen Maud Land Traverse I and II, 1964–65 and 1965–66.[1]

The first ascent is credited to British climbers Dominic Spicer and Rob Jarvis in late December 2009.[2]
