Branscomb Peak

Branscomb Peak is a small snowy prominence of elevation 4520 m, the highest point of the ridge that forms the top of the main west face of Vinson Massif in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It overlooks Jacobsen Valley to the northeast, Goodge Col to the north-northeast, the upper section of Branscomb Glacier to the west, and Roché Glacier to the south.

The peak was named by US-ACAN in 2006 in association with adjacent Branscomb Glacier.
