Niels Peak (Norwegian: Nielsnapen)[1][2] (71°57′S 9°23′E / 71.950°S 9.383°E / -71.950; 9.383) is a peak, 2,525 m, rising 3 nautical miles (6 km) north of Nergaard Peak (Nergaardnuten)[3] in the Gagarin Mountains of the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land.
Both Nergaard Peak and Niels Peak are named for Niels Nergaard, a scientific assistant with the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58.
[2] Both names were proposed in 1967 by the Norwegian philologist Per Hovda (1908–1997).
