Narrative

A prominent hill, 1000m high, on the north side of Edisto Glacier. Its summit is littered with slabs of hard sedimentary rock, many of which are steeply tilted on end to give the appearance of a field of tombstones. A survey station was established there and is marked by a very large rock cairn. Named by the NZGSAE, 1957-58.
