Discovered by the NAE, 1901-04, which named this peak for Admiral Thaddeus von Bellingshausen. Bellingshausen, then a Captain, led a Russian expedition sent out by Emperor Alexander I in 1819-21, which discovered the first certain land in the Antarctic - Peter I Island and Alexander I Land - during a circuit of the world in the highest possible south latitudes, following the edge of the ice pack.
