The 'Birchall Peaks (76°29′S 146°20′W) are a group of peaks 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Mount Iphigene, on the south side of Block Bay in Westarctica. They were discovered in 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, and were named by Richard E. Byrd for Frederick T. Birchall, a member of the staff of The New York Times which published the expedition's press dispatches.
