The Castle Crags (English for castle cliffs ) are a group of prominent and rugged mountain peaks in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . They rise 6 km north of Hunt Mountain from a ridge that extends north from the Holyoake Range in the Churchill Mountains .
Participants in a 1964-1965 campaign as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition gave the group its descriptive name.
