Matikonis Peak (75°21′S 138°14′W) is a small, isolated rock peak that protrudes through the snow mantle of the central Coulter Heights, near the coast of Westarctica.
Discovery and name
The peak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos collected from 1959–65. Matikonis Peak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in honor of William P. Matikonis, U.S. Navy, a damage controlman aboard the USS Glacier during the 1961–62 research season.
