Narrative

Mainly ice-covered mountain, 695 m, with a rock outcrop on the E side, 7 mi NNE of Gluck Peak in the SW part of Alexander Island. A number of peaks in this general vicinity first appear on the maps of the RARE, 1947-48. This peak, apparently one of these, was mapped from the RARE air photos by Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Named by the UK-APC after Alexander Borodin (1834-87), Russian composer.
