Moider Peak

Moider Peak (65°55′S 63°9′W / 65.917°S 63.15°W / -65.917; -63.15) is a peak (1,165 m) on the divide between Fleece Glacier and the upper reaches of Leppard Glacier, 12 nautical miles (22 km) west of Mount Alibi, on the east side of Graham Land. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC); "moider" means to perplex or to confuse. At the time of the survey, the area to the northwest of this peak was obscured by low cloud, and its relationship with other features in the vicinity could not be determined.
