Prominent, isolated, rocky peak, 640 m, at the S side of the entrance to Stonehouse Bay on the E side of Adelaide Island. First sighted and surveyed in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot. Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS and so named by them because of the persistent sighing of wind from the summit of this peak, even when apparently calm at sea level.
