Narrative

A large nunatak in the stream of the Mawson Glacier, 19km northwest of Mount Douglas. It stands relatively little above the ice surface on the west, but downstream, on the east side, has towering black cliffs which make it a prominent landmark from the sea-ice north of the Nordenskjöld Ice Tongue, being approximately 66km southwest of Cape Hickey. Feature shown on: NZ AntTopo50-MB07

Named For

Named by the Northern Survey Party of the New Zealand Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956-58, because of its three summits. They established a survey station on its summit on 9 December 1957.
