May Peak (85°57′S 132°23′W / 85.950°S 132.383°W / -85.950; -132.383) is a pyramidal peak rising to over 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) at the west side of Reedy Glacier, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Stich Peak in the Quartz Hills of Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Robert L. May, a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot at McMurdo Station, 1962–63.[1]
