Narrative

A peak in the north-east part of the Dismal Mountains, Kemp Land, which is marked by a large round patch of light-coloured rock, visible from the north-west around to the east. Photographed in 1956 by ANARE. Surveyed by G A Knuckey in December 1958, during a dog-sledge journey from Amundsen Bay to Mawson. So named because the light-coloured patch brings to mind the mythical one-eyed giant, Cyclops.
