Narrative

A conical peak rising to over 1400m in the north extremity of Carlstrom Foothills, Churchill Mountains. The peak is on the west side of Bally Glacier, 15km east south-east of Pyramid Mountain. Named after Graeme Blick, Geodetic Survey Advisor, Office of the Surveyor-General, Land Information New Zealand. From 1970 - 1995 he worked for the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (formally NZ Geological Survey) in the Earth Deformation Group as a geodetic surveyor. In the summer of 1983/84 and 1984/85 he was involved in surveys around the summit of Mount Erebus monitoring crustal deformation associated with volcanic activity of the mountain. Graeme joined Land Information New Zealand (formally Department of Survey and Land Information) in 1995 and has worked in the Office of the Surveyor General as Geodetic Survey Advisor where he has been responsible for the Department's geodetic activities in New Zealand and Antarctica.
