The Bond Peaks ( Norwegian Bondtoppane ) are a mountain range up to 3180 m high in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They are located on the southwest side of Bergersenfjella in the Sør Rondane mountains .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1966 after Charles Alonzo Bond (1904-1989), commander of the Western Group in Operation Highjump.
