Fue cartografiado primero por la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1903-1905 al mando del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, quien le dio el nombre de Ernest Gourdon, geólogo de la expedición. La cumbre montañosa de una dirección N-S y de más o menos 980 metros de altura ocupa la parte S de isla Booth, en la costa W de la península Tierra de O'Higgins. Del monte se desprenden hacia el N dos cordones montañosos, cuyos flancos exteriores caen verticales hacia el mar encerrando entre ellos un glaciar.
