The Ivory Pinnacles (63°50′S 59°9′W / 63.833°S 59.150°W) are a pair of ice-covered peaks rising to 1,120 metres (3,670 ft) on the west side of Pettus Glacier, 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Cape Kjellman, in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. The Ivory Pinnacles are separated from nearby Poynter Hill by the 700-metre pass Poynter Col.[1] Other nearby peaks include Mount Bradley, Mount Reece, Mount Roberts, Tinsel Dome, Webster Peaks, and Wimple Dome.[2] The feature was surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Hope Bay"[3] and charted in July 1948 by members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who applied the descriptive name[4][3] , photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956–57.[3]
