El nombre actual corresponde al del barco factoría ballenero chileno "Orión", de 2.349 toneladas, integrante de la flota de Adolfo Andresen, con base en Punta Arenas, Chile, en 1914. Montaña de aproximadamente 1.570 metros de elevación, que se levanta al lado S del glaciar Anderson, a aproximadamente 6 millas a WNW de la punta Balder, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins. |
