Narval Peak
South Georgia and
the South Sandwich Islands
Range: Thatcher Peninsula
South Georgia
Summit: 1,970 feet 54°16’45"S, 36°32’19"W

Narval Peak is a hill rising to about 1,970 feet above sea level to the south of Petrel Peak and north-west of Gull Lake on the Thatcher Peninsula, which is part of the noth coast of South Georgia.

The hill was named originally by the British South Georgia Expedition of 1957, possibly after the ship, Narval, an Argentinian whale-catcher.
