The Founders Peaks are a cluster of sharp peaks and ridges located just east of Founders Escarpment and between Minnesota Glacier and Gowan Glacier, in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. The peaks were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66. The name was applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names is association with the name Heritage Range.[1]

Die Founders Peaks sind eine Gruppe steiler Gipfel und Berggrate im Nordwesten der Heritage Range, dem südlichen Teil des antarktischen Ellsworthgebirges.[1] Sie liegen unmittelbar östlich der Geländestufe Founders Escarpment, über die das ewige Eis aus dem westlichen Hochland in die Täler der Heritage Range fließt. Nördlich der Founders Peaks fließt der Minnesota-Gletscher, östlich der Gowan-Gletscher.[2]
