The Berg Peak is a striking and 1,870 m high mountain in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the northern Morozumi Range of the Usarp Mountains it rises 5 km south of El Pulgar .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain after the geologist Thomas E. Berg (1933-1969), who wintered in 1961 on McMurdo Sound , undertook studies in the area for three subsequent summer seasons and was killed in a helicopter crash on Mount McLennan on November 19, 1969 .
