Prominent conical peak, 2,470 m, distinguished by a large NE cirque and as the highest point in Wilkniss Mountains, Victoria Land. The New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) (1956-58) established a survey station on its summit on Jan. 21, 1958. So named by them because its prominent appearance and location make it the focal point of the topography in that area.
