A mountain, 3621m high, standing north of Mt Herschel in the Admiralty Range in northern Victoria Land. Named in 1841 by Ross for Lieutenant-Colonel (later General) Sir Edward Sabine, Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. Sabine was an enthusiastic physicist who rapidly gained promotion as an artillery officer by virtue of his scientific discoveries, and had alredy carried out magnetic and geodetic surveys in many parts of the world. In 1835 Sabine presented to the British Association for the Advancement of Science Proposals for an expedition to the South Magnetic Pole. Ross had taken part in the magnetic survey of the British Isles with Sabine, and namd this mountain after "the first proposer and one of the most active and zealous promoters of th expedition".
