Narrative

The highest peak of the Central Masson Range, near its southern end. The peak, 1,190 m above sea level, rises from a high ridge and is not very prominent.

Named For

Named for Dalice Trost, daughter of Peter A Trost, physicist at Mawson in 1958. (Note: The minutes of the meeting of July 1959 incorrectly spelt her name as Dallice. This wasn't picked up until May 2018. The name appears on many maps and has been adopted by other countries, so it couldn't be corrected.)
