A flat-topped hill, 2,200 m above sea level, 300 m above the surrounding plateau, giving a good view of the Byrd Glacier and the mountains south of it. This was the most southerly point reached by the Darwin Glacier Party of the TAE (1956-58) who gave it this name because of the splendid view it afforded.
