The Nodwell Peaks are two striking and 1.5 km spaced Mountains in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Nordenskjöld coast, they tower northeast of Ferguson Ridge on the eastern flank of Edgeworth Glacier .
Surveys carried out by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1960 and 1961 were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1964 after the Canadian company Robin-Nodwell Mfg. Ltd. from Calgary , a manufacturer of tracked vehicles that were used in Antarctica in the 1960s .
