Painted Peak, also called Painted Hill, (67°45′S 62°51′E / 67.750°S 62.850°E / -67.750; 62.850) is a prominent peak, 710-metre (2,330 ft), on the northern end of the North Masson Range in the Framnes Mountains, Mac.

[1] It was aerially photographed in 1936-1937 and later mapped from these photos by Norwegian cartographers in 1946.

The Mawson Charnockite is an extensive batholith of plutonic igneous rock that has intruded the metasedimentary strata that comprises the Painted Gneiss.

The latter occurs as isolated xenoliths and roof pendants, of which Painted Mountain is the largest, within the charnockite.

It outcrops throughout the Framnes Mountains and as far west as Chapman Ridge.
