The Mintz peak is 2,500 m high secondary summit of Mount Hartigan in the Executive Committee Range in West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It rises in the southeast of the mountain.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and with the help of Trimetrogon aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy between 1958 and 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1962 after Jerome Mintz, electrical engineer for meteorological equipment at Byrd Station in 1959.
