This name originates from New Zealand. It is part of the New Zealand Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A 7km line of peaks up to 2874m high on an east–west trending ridge, between Dominion Range’s interior ice cap and the ice-free Meyer Desert to the north. Located on Dominion Range, upper Beardmore Glacier. Depicted on NZMS166 SV51-60/8 and USGS reconnaissance SV51-60/8 1:250k topographic maps.
Named by the NZGB for Professor Timothy Naish, Director of Victoria University of Wellington's Antarctic Research Centre. The name recognises Professor Naish's highly successful Antarctic scientific career, particularly in the area of paleoclimatology. Professor Naish is well known for his leadership of the ANDRILL Project, was the 2014 recipient of the Tinker-Muse Prize for Science and Policy in Antarctica, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2015. During the 2010-11 field season, Professor Naish and his colleagues worked at Oliver Bluffs, an area of exposed strata and fossil deposits on the north of Dominion Range - a site overlooked by Naish Peaks.
