Mount Guernsey
Mount Guernsey is a solitary, ice-covered mountain on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It rises to about 1,250 metres (4,100 feet) and lies roughly 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of the summit of Mount Edgell. The French Antarctic Expedition in 1909, led by Jean-Baptiste Charcot, named it after the island of Guernsey off France. Although Charcot's maps didn't perfectly match the mountain, notes and sketches from the expedition show this is the peak he saw near the entrance to Marguerite Bay. The mountain was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition but was not given a different name, and it was surveyed again in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
