Cressey Peak is a peak, 870 metres (2,850 ft) high, located 7 nautical miles (13 km) east of the Harold Byrd Mountains between the southeast edge of the Ross Ice Shelf and the Watson Escarpment. It was 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 Richard N. Cressey, a storekeeper with the Byrd Station winter party in 1958.[1]
