COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

rising to c. 1035m at head of Exasperation Inlet, Oscar II Coast, was probably the feature seen from the air by Wilkins on 20 December 1928, just N of Crane Glacier (q.v.), and named Mount Napier Birks, after Napier Birks of Adelaide, Australia, although reported in 66 30'S 64 15'W (Wilkins, 1929, Fig. 25, p.365, p.366, 376; USHO, 1943, p.269; [in 66 28'S 64 30'W] USBGN, 1947, p.204; [co-ordinates corrected] BA chart 3570, 4.vi.1954; APC, 1955, p.15). Napier Birksfjellet (Aagaard, 1930, end map). The area was surveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1947, but without positive identification of the feature photographed by Wilkins. Monte Napier Birks (Chile. DNH chart LII, 1947; [as rejected name] IHA, 1974, p.207). Napier-Birks-Berg (Kosack, 1955a, p.221). Mount Birks (APC, 1960, p.3; BA chart 3570, 29.ix.1961).

Conspicuous, pyramid-shaped mountain, 1,035 m, at the N side of the mouth of Crane Glacier, on the E coast of Graham Land. In 1928 Sir Hubert Wilkins gave the name Mount Napier Birks, after Napier Birks of Adelaide, Australia, to two conspicuous, black peaks which he observed and photographed from the air as lying close N of his Crane Channel. This coast was charted by the FIDS in 1947, but it has not been possible to identify Wilkins' Mount Napier Birks. Since Crane Channel was definitely identified as Crane Glacier, the UK-APC recommended in 1950 that the name, shortened to Mount Birks, be given to this conspicuous mountain lying close N of the mouth of the glacier.

A prominent, low, pyramidal peak, south of a row of peaks along the eastern section of Nemesis Glacier, in the Prince Charles Mountains. Seen in January, 1957, by ANARE southern party led by William G. Bewsher.

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.
