Narrative

A peak rising to c.2800 m at the junction of ridges from Mount Gjertsen, Mount Grier, and Johansen Peak, in the La Gorce Mountains.

Named For

The peak was geologically mapped by a U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) - Arizona State University field party, 1980-81, and named by Edmund Stump, leader of the party. The name derives from a contact between shallow intrusions on the west face of the peak, which has produced gold, yellow, and brown colouration along a meandering line.
