Pivot Peak (78°2′S 161°1′E / 78.033°S 161.017°E / -78.033; 161.017) is a prominent conical peak, 2,470 m, distinguished by a large northeast cirque and as the highest point in Wilkniss Mountains, Victoria Land. The New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) established a survey station on its summit on January 21, 1958. So named by them because its prominent appearance and location make it the focal point of the topography in that area.
