Holder Peak

Holder Peak

Holder Peak (coord|69|44|30.1|S|74|31|13.1|E|type:mountain) is the higher (northern) peak on a rock outcrop on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elizabeth Land, about 4 km east of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen, in Antarctica. It is about 140 metres high.

Plotted from Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and with Young Peak called Tvillingfjell (Twin Mountains). The peak was fixed by triangulation from an astrofixed baseline by an ANARE party from Davis led by Australian William (Bill) Young in 1963.

Named after Australian Jim Holder, weather observer at Davis Station in 1963, a member of the field party. [cite web | url = http://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/gaz/display_name.cfm?gaz_id=1963 | title = Australian Antarctic Gazetteer | publisher = Australian Antarctic Division | accessdate = 2008-07-02 ]
