319:. A coastal mountain rising over 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) high, which is snow covered except for its north steep rock face. Spurs descend northeast from the feature. It stands 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km; 2.9 mi) southeast of O'Leary Peak and overlooks the west side of the mouth (or portal) of Kosko Glacier where the latter enters Ross Ice Shelf. Discovered and photographed by USAS (1939–41) and surveyed by A.P. Crary (1957-58). Named by Crary for Charles R. Wilson, chief aurora scientist at Little America V (1958) and glaciologist of the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse Party (1958-59).

281:. A small peak 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) high along the west side of Kosco Glacier, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of McGinnis Peak. The descriptive name was proposed by Edmund Stump of the USARP Ohio State University party which geologically mapped the peak on December 3, 1970. Composed entirely of white crystalline marble, the Peak lacks contrast with the snow that skirts it to a high level.
