Mistake Peak

Mistake Peak (77°26′S 160°13′E / 77.433°S 160.217°E / -77.433; 160.217) is a snowy peak, about 2,600 m, rising 3 nautical miles (6 km) west-southwest of Shapeless Mountain, at the south end of the Willett Range in Victoria Land. So named in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), because they mistakenly climbed the mountain in the belief they were on Shapeless Mountain.
