It is the highest peak in the island of South Georgia, and any territory of the United Kingdom. However, a higher peak still, Mount Jackson, lies within the British Antarctic Territory.

This feature was known to early sealers and whalers at South Georgia, and the name has long been established through general usage.[1] It is clearly visible from Grytviken and King Edward Point.
