Narrative

Two rocky peaks rising to 500 m NW of Mount Grieg on Derocher Peninsula, Alexander Island. A number of peaks in this vicinity first appear on maps by the RARE, 1947-48. These peaks, apparently included within that group, were mapped from RARE air photos by Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Named by the UK-APC after Modeste Mussorgsky (1839-81), Russian composer.
