Mount Bransfield

Mount Bransfield (63°17′S 57°5′W / 63.283°S 57.083°W / -63.283; -57.083) is a prominent conical-topped, ice-covered mountain, 760 metres (2,500 ft) high, rising 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Cape Dubouzet at the northeast tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by a French expedition, 1837–40, under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, who named it for Edward Bransfield, Master, Royal Navy, who circumnavigated and charted the South Shetland Islands in 1820.
