This name originates from New Zealand. It is part of the New Zealand Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
The highest peak on Separation Range, c.2295m high, where the range is intersected by Retrospect Spur. Located east of Beardmore Glacier, between Hood Glacier and Canyon Glacier in the Transantarctic Mountains. Feature depicted on NZMS166 SV51-60/4 and USGS Reconnaissance SV51-60/4 1:250k topographic maps.
Named by the NZGB for Robert (Bob) Cawley, who lead the 1959-60 New Zealand Alpine Club Expedition in a previously unexplored part of the Beardmore Glacier. The Alpine Club explored and surveyed '1000 square miles', discovered insects at the (then) farthest point south, and named many features in the area. Bob Cawley passed away in 2014. The name was proposed by Brian McGlinchy, a member of the Alpine Club Expedition, with the support of his Alpine Club colleagues.
