A peak, 1863m hgih, rising about 11 miles south-south-east of Mt Kyffin on the east side of the Beardmore Glacier in the Commonwealth Range. Discovered and named in 1908 by the BAE, 1907-09.

The surname could not be used by Shackleton, for Scott had already perpetuated it in a peak in what is now Australian Territory.
