The Butler Peaks are a group of up to 2000 m high mountains on the Rymill coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower 6 km south of Mount Bagshawe at the southern end of the Batterbee Mountains between the Armstrong and Conchie glaciers .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1976 after the British geophysicist Peter Francis Butler (* 1946), who worked for the British Antarctic Survey from 1969 to 1970 and 1973 on Stonington Island .
