Description
(see definition):
Conspicuous mountain, c. 2,800 m, 4 mi SE of Mount Bayonne in N Alexander Island. First mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE), 1908-10, under Charcot, who named it for the French capital. Resighted in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) and charted as mountains, but subsequent study of air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, has caused the name to be restricted to this single mountain.
