The Strong Peak is a 1310 m high, small and pointed mountain peak in the Ellsworth Mountains of the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Enterprise Hills of the Heritage Range, it rises at the western end of a ridge that extends from Parrish Peak about 5 km in a west-southwest direction into the Horseshoe Valley .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Jack E. Strong, a biologist with the United States Antarctic Research Program , who in 1965 worked on the Palmer station .
