Names that other countries have for this feature:
Triangular rock peak, 610 m, marking the N side of the entrance to Stonehouse Bay on the E coast of Adelaide Island. Discovered and first roughly surveyed in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot. Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who named the point marked by this peak for Sgt. Kenneth D. Hunt, mechanic for the expedition's Norseman airplane in 1950. Further survey in 1957-58 by the FIDS showed no definable point in the vicinity and the name was transferred to the peak.
