Narrative

A conspicuous peak standing above Cape Roget, in the Admiralty Range, in Victoria Land. Discovered and named by Ross in 1841 for Sir John Herschel, who was one of the committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science which, in 1838, placed before the British Government a memorandum which led to the dispatch of Ross's expedition to the Antarctic. Herschel was also a noted astronomer.
