The Cyclops Peak (English for Zyklopenspitze ) is a triangular mountain in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . It rises at the northern end of the Dismal Mountains .
Aerial photographs and measurements as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions between 1956 and 1958 were used to map it. It is named after a round patch of light-colored rock, which characterizes it and is reminiscent of the one-eyed cyclops from Greek mythology.
