The Christie Peaks are a group of summits rising to about 2,500 feet above sea level in the north of the Batterbee Mountains of Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The peaks look out over George VI Sound.
Following surveys by the British Antarctic Survey in 1962-72, the peaks were named after Timothy Julian Churchill Christie (b. 1934), the British Antarctic Survey surveyor at Stonington Island between 1970-72, who worked in this area.
