Nordsim Peak, rising to a height of 5,138 feet above sea level, is the main peak of the Cantrill Nunataks among the Sweeney Mountains in southern Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The mountain was surveyed by the United States Geological Survey 1961-62. It is named after the Nordsim Laboratory located in the Laboratory for Isotope Geology at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. The isotope geochronological and petrogenetic analyses of rock samples from the nunataks were undertaken at the laboratory.
