Narrative

An ice-free peak, 1346 m, which marks the summit of Campbell Hills on the southern side of Nimrod Glacier. The peak stands 2,5 m NW of Mount Christchurch, a mountain named after Christchurch, New Zealand, by Capt. R.F. Scott's BrNAE, 1901-04. In 2005, in association with Mount Christchurch, the New Zealand Geographic Board named this peak after Walter R. Seelig (1919-2005), the National Science Foundation Representative in Christchurch during eleven USARP austral deployments between 1971 and 1986 (Mount Seelig, q.v.). Seelig was accompanied in the Christchurch sojourns by his wife, Josephine Seelig
