The Divide Peaks are a series of icy and up to 640 m high mountains that extend in the southeast of Coronation Island in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands over a length of 3 km in a northwest direction.
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out surveys between 1956 and 1958. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them on July 7, 1959 based on the name of the strait The Divide .
