The Cagle Peaks are a group of pointed peaks in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Ellsworth Mountains they tower above the southern end of the White Escarpment on the western edge of the Heritage Range in the Ellsworth Mountains.
The Cagle Peaks got their name from a geological expedition of the University of Minnesota , which explored this area in the Antarctic summer 1963/64. It is named after Major Paul Marvin Cagle (1917–1998), the commanding officer and pilot of the helicopter unit that supported the expedition on site.
