Mount Hope (69°46′S 64°34′W / 69.767°S 64.567°W / -69.767; -64.567) is a massive mountain rising to 2,860 m, forming the central and highest peak of Eternity Range, northern Palmer Land. First seen from the air and named Mount Hope by Lincoln Ellsworth during his flights of November 21 and 23, 1935. The mountain was surveyed and given the name Mount Wakefield by J.R. Rymill of British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) in November 1936. The feature was subsequently photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in September 1940, and by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in December 1947. A careful study of the reports, maps, and photographs of these expeditions, as well as additional survey of the area by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960, has led to the conclusion that Ellsworth's Mount Hope and Rymill's Mount Wakefield are synonymous. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Hope has been retained for this mountain (the name Wakefield has been transferred to Wakefield Highland located close northwestward). This mountain is one of three major mountains in Ellsworth's Eternity Range to which he gave the names Faith, Hope, and Charity.
