Bracken Peak Explained

Bracken Peak is a peak, high, standing in Sostra Heights south of the terminus of Newcomer Glacier and 3miles northeast of Mount Malone, on the east side of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarticta. It surmounts Anchialus Glacier to the west and Vit Ice Piedmont to the east.

It was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on photographic flights of 14–15 December 1959, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for H.J. Bracken, plane captain of the airplane on these flights.
