A prominent, isolated peak about 57km SSW of Rayner Peak in Kemp Land. Mapped from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Nevlingen by Norwegian cartographers. First visited by an ANARE dog-sledge party in December, 1958, when an astrofix was obtained by G A Knuckey.

A mountain about 6 km south of Mount Cronus, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photographs taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and 1957. The chart drawn by John Biscoe shows four mountains in what is now named the Scott Mountains. These four mountains were named Charles, Henry, George and Gordon after the Enderby Brothers (and their brother-in-law), owners of Biscoe's vessels. It has not been possible to identify the mountain so named by Biscoe but in order to perpetuate the name it has been applied to this feature.

Two main peaks in Enderby Land about 100 m apart but connected at the base. From the Western Peak a mostly snow covered ridge extends west for 500 m with minor peaks. Another ridge extends north for 1000 m.
