The Anzac Peak is an icy, 715 m high mountain on the island Heard that the Australian external territory of Heard Island and McDonald heard. It is the highest point on the Laurens Peninsula in the northwest of Heard.
The mountain is first noted on a map by US sealer captain H. C. Chester from 1860. Participants of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions took a survey on April 25, 1948, ANZAC Day , and named it after this memorial day.
