Duff Peak


Duff Peak is a peak 1 nautical mile east-southeast of Sentinel Peak, rising to at the head of Hughes Glacier in the Kukri Hills, Victoria Land. It was named in 1992 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Roger S. Duff, for 30 years director of the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, New Zealand. To celebrate the Museum's centenary in 1970, a Hundredth Anniversary Wing was planned which would incorporate a National Antarctic Exhibition, Research and Reference Center. A landmark of Dr. Duff's administration, the Antarctic wing was opened on March 4, 1977.
