A very sharp peak marking a pronounced corner point on Ackerman Ridge, 6 mi NE of Mount Gjertsen, in La Gorce Mountains. Mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. So named by NZGSAE, 1969-70, because as seen from the south the colorful rock strata present a well visible form that is suggestive of the Greek letter "Delta." |
