The Berry Peaks (85°26′S 138°32′W / 85.433°S 138.533°W / -85.433; -138.533) are a small group of peaks 10 nautical miles (19 km) south of the terminus of Reedy Glacier, between the southeast edge of the Ross Ice Shelf and the Watson Escarpment. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William Berry, a radioman in the Byrd Station winter party of 1961.[1]
