Andrews Peak (72°17′S 165°25′E / 72.283°S 165.417°E / -72.283; 165.417) is an Antarctic peak, 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) high, in the Destination Nunataks, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Pyramid Peak in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Peter Andrews, a geologist with the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) Evans Neve field party, 1971–72, who worked in this area.[1] The peak lies on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
