Northcliffe Peak (78°44′S 161°8′E / 78.733°S 161.133°E / -78.733; 161.133) is a prominent peak, 2,255 m, rising 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Mount Harmsworth in the Worcester Range. Surveyed and named in 1957 by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) because of its association with Mount Harmsworth. Sir Alfred Harmsworth, a generous contributor to the Discovery expedition (1901–04), was later created Viscount Northcliff.
