The Gary Peaks are two mountains in East Antarctica, Victoria Land . In the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains they form the north face of the Sheehan Glacier 6 km west-southwest of Mount Hager .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using their own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after Gary F. Martin, a mechanic at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1965 .
