Oread Spur (72°35′S 168°53′E / 72.583°S 168.883°E / -72.583; 168.883) is a rock spur on the south side of Tucker Glacier, 10 nautical miles (18 km) west of Crater Cirque, on which a survey station was placed at a height of 1,185 m by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1957–58. They named it Oread (mountain nymph), which is derived from Greek mythology.
