Feature type: Peak
This name originates from United Kingdom. It is part of the Gazetteer of the British Antarctic Territory and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
Peak, 1119 m, the highest point of Finlandia Foothills, Alexander Island.
The name follows a theme of names for dragons in this area and reflects that the peak is the highest in Finlandia Foothills. The area had not been visited previously and the first field party (January 2018) were reminded of old maps and charts where uncharted areas were decorated with dragons and other mythical beasts.
