The Nemo Peak is a 865 m high and prominent mountain in the northern part of Wiencke Island in the West Antarctic Palmer Archipelago . It rises 1.5 km northeast of Nipple Peak .
It was discovered during the Belgica expedition (1897-1899) of the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery . His name appears for the first time on a map made during surveys by scientists from the British Discovery Investigations in 1927. The name probably goes back to whalers in this area. The further naming background has not been passed down.
