Fields Peak (75°59′S 135°56′W / 75.983°S 135.933°W / -75.983; -135.933) is a small but distinctive peak 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) southeast of Brandenberger Bluff on the lower northern slopes of Mount Berlin, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Master Sergeant Samuel J. Fields, U.S. Army, a member of the 1956 Army–Navy Trail Party that blazed a trail from Little America V to 80°S 120°W / 80°S 120°W / -80; -120 to establish Byrd Station.[1]
