Beard Peak


Beard Peak is a peak high, along the north edge of the La Gorce Mountains, standing south of the eastern tip of Mount Mooney in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Philip H. Beard, a photographer with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.
