The Webster Peaks are a group of four mountain peaks up to 1065 m high on the Davis Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower west of the Whitecloud Glacier at the head of Charcot Bay .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped them in 1948 and named them after the British naturalist William Henry Bayley Webster (1793-1875), who explored Tower Island and Trinity Island from this coast in 1829 with the HMS Chanticleer .
