Caldwell Peak (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a peak 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Mount Terra Nova on Ross Island. The feature rises to about 1,300 metres (4,300 ft), 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of Oamaru Peak. At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2000) after David A. Caldwell, geologist, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, who worked two field seasons on Mount Erebus (first one, 1986–87); completed M.S. thesis on lava flows at the Mount Erebus summit.[1]
