Rogers Peaks (72°15′S 24°31′E / 72.250°S 24.517°E / -72.250; 24.517) is a small group of peaks standing just southwest of Dufek Mountain in the Sor Rondane Mountains. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Lieutenant Commander William J. Rogers, Jr. U.S. Navy, plane commander of one of the three aerial crews of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump which flew photographic flights in this and other coastal areas between 14 and 164 East longitude.
