Narrative

En 1928, Sir Hubert Wilkins dio el nombre de Mount Napiers Birks, por Napiers Birks de Adelaida, Australia, a dos picachos negros que observó y fotografió desde el aire, ubicados apenas al N del canal Crane. La costa fue levantada por el FIDS en 1947, sin ser identificado este accidente. Monte conspicuo piramidal, de unos 1.160 metros de elevación, ubicado en el lado N de la boca del glaciar Crane, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O´Higgins.
