The Divide Peaks (60°43′S 45°12′W / 60.717°S 45.200°W / -60.717; -45.200) are a series of ice-topped peaks, the highest at 640 metres (2,100 ft), rising from the southeast end of Coronation Island and extending for 2 nautical miles (4 km) in a northwesterly direction, in the South Orkney Islands. They were surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1956–58, and named in association with The Divide.[1][2]
