Mount Alexander
(Joinville Island)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 63° 18' 14" S 55° 48' 20" W
rising to 600m above Firth of Tay, S coast of Joinville Island, was sighted by the Dundee Whaling Expedition on 8 January 1893, when the promontory of which it forms the N end was named Cape Alexander. From 1948 the name Cape Alexander was omitted from publications until a reliable survey could be made. The promontory was re-identified and surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in 1953-54, and the mountain summit was named Mount Alexander.
