The Tongue Peak (English for tip of the tongue ) is a 2450 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . In the Queen Maud Mountains it rises 5 km west-northwest of Mount Farley between the Holdsworth and Scott glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. A team from Arizona State University examined it geologically between 1978 and 1979. Scott G. Borg, who was involved in these investigations, named him. It is named after a tongue-shaped moraine in a mountain basin between the west and north ridge of this mountain.
