Description (see definition): Highest mountain in the Douglas Range, 2,985 m, standing at the heads of Toynbee and Sedgwick Glaciers 8 mi W of George VI Sound, on the E side of Alexander Island. Probably first seen in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Charcot, but not recognized as part of the Douglas Range. First surveyed in 1936 by Stephenson, Fleming, and Bertram of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. The E side of the mountain was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who named the feature for Alfred Stephenson, surveyor and leader of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) party to George VI Sound in 1936.
