Location of Nordenskjöld Coast.
Cletrac Peak (64°22′31″S 59°40′04″W / 64.37528°S 59.66778°W) is a conspicuous steep-sided peak at the northwest corner of Larsen Inlet, immediately north of Muskeg Gap, in Graham Land, 4.3 km east of Skidoo Nunatak and 4 km south of Maslarov Nunatak. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after "Cletrac" tractors made by the Cleveland Tractor Company, Ohio, the first to be used successfully in the Antarctic, by Admiral Byrd's second expedition (1933–35).
