The Kinzl Crests are three mountains up to 2135 m (according to British data 1860 m ) high mountains on the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower 5 km east of Salmon Cove and Lallemand Fjord .
Aerial photographs of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957) were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the Austrian geographer and mountain researcher Hans Kinzl (1898–1979).
