The Guy Peaks are a group of mountain peaks on Thurston Island off the Eights coast of West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Walker Mountains they tower 5 km northeast of Mount Borgeson above Peale Inlet .
They were mapped using aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy in December 1946 as part of Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1968 after Arthur W. Guy, an electrical engineer at Byrd Station from 1964 to 1965.
