Narrative

central and highest peak (2860m) of Eternity Range (q.v.), was probably one of the three peaks seen from the air by Ellsworth on 21 November 1935 and named Mount Faith (q.v.), Mount Hope and Mount Charity (q.v.), "because we had to have faith, and we hoped for charity in the midst of cold hospitality" (Ellsworth, 1936b, map p.4, p.8; Joerg, 1937, map facing p.444; DOS 610 sheet W 69 64, 1963); probably the feature surveyed by BGLE in October 1936, and named Mount Wakefield after Viscount Wakefield of Hythe (Wakefield Highland, q.v.) (Rymill, 1938a, map facing p.496; BA chart 3175, 1.iii.1940; APC, 1955, p.22; DCS 601 sheet 69 64, 1955). Monte Esperanza [translation of English name] (Otero Espasandin, 1943, p.15). Monte Wakefield (Argentina. IGM map, 1946; Pierrou, 1970, p.721; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.297). Mont Wakefield (IHB chart B'I, 1952). Following resurvey by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in November 1960, the name Mount Hope was re-applied to the feature (APC, 1962, p.16).
