Mount Bris

Location of Davis Coast.

Mount Bris (63°59′S 59°50′W / 63.983°S 59.833°W / -63.983; -59.833) is a broad ice-covered mountain with precipitous and partly ice-free slopes except to the southeast, the summit of Korten Ridge on Davis Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. The peak rises to 1,673 metres (5,490 ft) 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the head of Sabine Glacier and 11 miles (18 km) south of Cape Kater. It is linked to Detroit Plateau by Podvis Col to the southeast, and surmounting Sabine Glacier to the northeast, Temple Glacier to the southwest, and Kasabova Glacier to the northwest.

The peak was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Jean-Marie Le Bris, French naval officer who designed a glider and became the first glider pilot.
