Stejneger Peak is a hill rising to 607 feet above sea level to the west of Jordan Cove on the coast of Bird Island in the territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The hill was named following the SGBE of 1958-59, after Leonhard Stejneger (1851-1943), an American zoologist who studied fur seals and birds in the islands of Bering Sea in the late nineteenth century; and a member of the Joint British-American Commission for Fur Seal Investigation in the Bering Sea, 1896.
