Merrem Peak
Merrem Peak () is a prominent peak of that is the secondary summit of and is located west of Berlin Crater on the Mount Berlin massif, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The peak was discovered and charted by the Pacific Coast Survey Party, led by Leonard Berlin, of the U.S. Antarctic Service in December 1940. It was subsequently mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for ionospheric physicist Frank H.
then shifted to Merrem Peak, starting 571,000 ± 8,900 years ago. Activity on Merrem Peak was accompanied by flank eruptions forming ignimbrites. Activity finally shifted to Mount Berlin proper, raising the summit of the volcano. Mount Berlin had a phase of increased volcanic activity between 24,000 and 28,000 years ago, according to tephra data. Some eruptions at Berlin were large scale Plinian eruptions, forming eruption columns exceeding heights of and depositing volcanic ash over large areas.
Individual volcanic eruptions at Berlin occurred 135,600 ± 900 years ago, 118,100 ±
