Claydon Peak
Claydon Peak (83°25′S 162°3′E) is a peak in the Queen Elizabeth Range, 3,040 metres (9,970 ft) high, which presents a rocky face to the northeast, standing just south of January Col. It was visited by the New Zealand Southern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) in early 1958, and named by them for Squadron-Leader John Claydon, commanding officer of the Antarctic Flight of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, who assisted the survey team operating in this vicinity.
