The Perseus Crags are a group of around 12 nunataks in Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . They project on the western edge of the Dyer Plateau and 50 km east-northeast of the George VI Sound lying Wade Point on. The most striking formation of this group is a hill in the shape of a whale back.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the group on July 21, 1976 after the constellation Perseus .
