The Snow Petrel Peak (English for Snow Petrel tip is) a rocky and pointed mountain in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . On the Scott Coast, it marks the east end of the Mason Trail in the Royal Society Range .
The name of the mountain is first recorded on a sketched map by the US geologist Anne Wright-Grassham, who was a member of a team from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology at the Mason Spur from 1983 to 1984 . It was named after a pair of snow petrels that the team observed here in November 1983 and which presumably also brooded here.
