The Miller Peak is a mountain with two peaks in the West Antarctic Ellsworth Land . It rises from the central part of a ridge between the Hudman Glacier and the Carey Glacier at the southern end of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1957 and 1959. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1961 after Charles S.
