Bartholin Peak (67°17′S 66°42′W / 67.283°S 66.700°W) is a conspicuous peak near the north end of the Boyle Mountains in Graham Land. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for Erasmus Bartholin, of Copenhagen, whose De Figura Nivis Dissertatio, 1661, includes the earliest known scientific description of snow crystals.
