Bishop Peak (Antarctica)

Bishop Peak (coord|78|10|S|162|9|E|) is a sharp peak rising to 3,460 m near the center of Rampart Ridge, Royal Society Range. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and Navy air photos, and named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1963 after the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, which has sent many researchers to Antarctica.
