Narrative

rising to c. 915m at N end of Haskard Highlands, W Shackleton Range, was surveyed by TAE in October 1957 and the name Pratt Peaks was applied collectively to this peak and to a peak immediately to the S, after David Lynn Pratt (b. 1924), engineer, and John Geoffrey Drew Pratt (1925-1994), geophysicist, unrelated members of TAE, 1956-58, and with the trans-polar party (APC, 1962, p.25; DOS 610 sheet W 80 28/30, 1963). Following further survey by BAS from Halley, 1968-71, the name Pratts Peak was applied to the present feature only (APC, 1974, p.6; BAS 250P sheet SU 26-30/1, 1-DOS 1978).
