Narrative

A nunatak, 2,420 m high, rising 450 m above the polar plateau, west of the Darwin Glacier. It is the westernmost point of the mountains in that area. The Darwin Glacier party of the TAE (1956-58) set up a survey station on the highest point in December, 1957. The name was suggested by Squadron-Leader J.R. Claydon, RNZAF, who first saw this feature from the air.
