Hutt Peak (76°1′S 132°39′W / 76.017°S 132.650°W / -76.017; -132.650) is a small but sharply rising snow-covered peak that rises above the general level of the central part of the Mount Bursey massif in Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and United States Navy aerial photographs between 1959 and 1966 and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1970 for Charles R. Hutt of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, a geomagnetist and seismologist at South Pole Station in Antarctica.[1]
