The Matterhorn (77°40′S 162°27′E / 77.667°S 162.450°ECoordinates: 77°40′S 162°27′E / 77.667°S 162.450°E) is a peak, 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) high, surmounting the north wall of Taylor Valley, Antarctica, between Lacroix Glacier and Matterhorn Glacier. It was so named by Griffith Taylor of the British Antarctic Expedition under Robert Falcon Scott, 1910–13, because of its resemblance to the Matterhorn, the famous Swiss mountain.
Matterhorn Glacier (77°41′S 162°27′E / 77.683°S 162.450°E) is a small alpine glacier on the edge of the north wall of Taylor Valley, just west of the Matterhorn, in Victoria Land. Named after the Matterhorn by U.S. geologist T.L. Pewe, who visited the area in December 1957.
