The Egress Peak (English for starting mountain ) is a 1690 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Churchill Mountains it rises 10 km east of Mount Albert Markham on the western foothills of the Carlstrom Foothills above a 1,400 m long watershed . From the latter, the Benbrook Glacier flows south to the Flynn Glacier and a previously unnamed glacier flows north to the Jorda Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain so in 2003 because the two glaciers described have their origins in its immediate vicinity.
