Narrative
A rocky hill by the sea at the north of Broknes Peninsula with the height of 121 meters. The north face of the mountainside is gentle, while the coastal shore is steep and difficult to climb. The east, south, west slope are gentle. Overlooking the north from the top of the hill, the wide ocean in Prydz Bay is charming and refreshing. It was named when aerial photos surveying and mapping in 1992.
