The Procyon Peaks are two mountain ridges up to 1250 m high in the Palmerlands on the Antarctic Peninsula . They consist of mountain peaks that are connected to each other by a mountain pass that can be driven or walked with dog sleds or pulkas . They rise 40 km east of Moore Point between the upper sections of the Millett and Bertram glaciers .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1976 after the star Procyon in the constellation Little Dog .
