The Amery Peaks are a group of mountain peaks in Mac-Robertson Land, East Antarctica . They extend in the eastern part of the Aramis Range in the Prince Charles Mountains over a length of 29 km on the southeast flank of the Nemesis Glacier .
The southern group of the research trip undertaken between 1956 and 1957 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions discovered them and named them after the naming of the Amery Ice Shelf . Both objects are named after William Bankes Amery (1883–1951), representative of the United Kingdom for immigration to Australia between 1925 and 1929.
