The Steeple Peaks ( English for spire peaks are) strung together five mountains on the Rymill coast of Palmer Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Batterbee Mountains they extend south of the Conchie Glacier in a north-northwest-south-southeast orientation from Mount Ward to the Sandau Nunatak .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee gave them a descriptive name in 1976 based on the tower-like ledges between the individual peaks.
