Moore Peak (77°31′S 168°27′E) is a peak rising to about 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) on the west slope of Mount Terror, Ross Island, Antarctica. The peak is 1.6 nautical miles (3 km) west-southwest of the summit of Mount Terror and 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of Mount Sutherland. At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2000 after James A. Moore, a member of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology team on Mount Erebus in the 1983–84 and 1985–86 field seasons. He completed his Master of Science thesis on the geology of Mount Erebus.[1]
