Brunhilde Peak (77°38′S 161°28′E / 77.633°S 161.467°E / -77.633; 161.467) is a rock peak between the upper part of Donner Valley and Sykes Glacier in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land.[1] Flat Spur descends northeast from the peak between the north and south branches of Sykes Glacier. Both features were named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee. The peak itself is named after Brunhilde, one in a group of names in the range derived from Norse mythology.[1] Flat Spur is simply named descriptively.[2]
