Larson Crag (76°44′S 161°8′E / 76.733°S 161.133°E / -76.733; 161.133) is a prominent rocky summit, over 1,600 metres (5,250 ft) high, at the north end of the Staten Island Heights in the Convoy Range, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and Navy air photos, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1964 for Commander Wesley Larson, commanding officer of the USS Staten Island (AGB-5) in Antarctic waters, 1959–60.[1]
