The Bastion Peak (English for bulwark tip is) a 1610 m high mountain with an ice cap and the rocky protrusions on its southern and eastern flanks of the Foyn coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It forms a bulwark against the step west of the Morrison Glacier and rises up at the head of the Cabinet Inlet .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it in 1947 and gave it its descriptive name. Aerial photographs were also taken in 1947 as part of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948).
