Name ID: 2029
Place ID: 4153
A mountain about 19 km south of Magga Peak in Oates Land. On 16 January 1840, Passed Midshipmen Eld and Reynolds on the Peacock, one of the ships of the USEE under Wilkes, reported hills in this direction. The hills were plotted on Wilkes' chart in about 67degrees S, 156 degrees E. It has not been possible to positively identify the feature named Eld Peak by Wilkes and the name has therefore been arbitrarily applied to this feature. |
