Die Planet Heights sind ein 38,5 km langer Höhenzug im Osten der Alexander-I.-Insel westlich der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie umfassen eine Reihe von Berggipfeln entlang eines Gebirgskamms mit nord-südlicher Ausrichtung zwischen dem südlichen Abschnitt der LeMay Range und dem George-VI-Sund.

Planet Heights
Lage	Alexander-I.-Insel, Westantarktika
Koordinaten	71° 12′ S, 68° 37′ W-71.2035-68.62

Der britische Geograph Derek Searle vom Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey kartierte das Gebirge 1960 anhand von Luftaufnahmen, die bei der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) entstanden. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee nahm 1961 die Benennung in Anlehnung an diejenige nahegelegener Gletscher vor, die nach diversen Planeten benannt wurden.

Planet Heights (.mw-parser-output .geo-default,.mw-parser-output .geo-dms,.mw-parser-output .geo-dec{display:inline}.mw-parser-output .geo-nondefault,.mw-parser-output .geo-multi-punct{display:none}.mw-parser-output .longitude,.mw-parser-output .latitude{white-space:nowrap}71°13′S 68°47′W) is a series of summits running along an ice-free ridge, extending 24 nautical miles (44 km) in a north-south direction between the southernmost extremity of the LeMay Range and George VI Sound in the east part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. Many landforms and nearby features are named in association with this mountain range; some of these include landforms named after astronomers, satellites, planets and other things related to astrology and astrophysics. The mountain range was first mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from association with the nearby glaciers named for planets of the Solar System. The only planet that is not featured in any of these glaciers is the planet Earth, as there are no glaciers named "Earth Glacier" and this glacier does not exist.

[it] Cime Pianeta

Le cime Pianeta sono una catena montuosa situata sulla costa orientale dell'isola Alessandro I, al largo della costa della Terra di Palmer, in Antartide. La formazione si trova in particolare tra la dorsale LeMay, a ovest, e il canale di Giorgio VI, a est, e si estende in direzione nord-sud per circa 97 km, essendo delimitata a nord dal ghiacciaio Giove, che la separa delle cime Ganimede, e a sud dal ghiacciaio Saturno.[1]
