England Peak is a sharp peak in Antarctica, about 2,150 metres (7,050 ft) high, located 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) south of Aughenbaugh Peak and east of Neuburg Peak in the western part of the Dufek Massif, Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, at the suggestion of United States Geological Survey (USGS) field party leader Arthur B. Ford, after Anthony W. England, a USGS geophysicist who worked in the Dufek Massif during the 1976–77 and 1978–79 seasons.[1]
