Mount Paris (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) is a conspicuous mountain, about 2,800 m, 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Mount Bayonne situated in the northern portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica.
History
[edit | edit source]The mountain was first mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Charcot, who named it for the French capital, Paris. The mountain was resighted in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) and charted as mountains, but subsequent study of air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, has caused the name to be restricted to this single mountain. Mount Paris is the third-highest peak of Alexander Island, while Mount Egbert remains second standing at 2,850 m in height.
