Mount Percy

Mount Percy (63°15′S 55°49′W / 63.25°S 55.817°W / -63.25; -55.817) is a prominent mountain, 765 m, the highest feature on Joinville Island, standing immediately north of Mount Alexander near the center of the island. Discovered by a British expedition under Ross on December 30, 1842, and named for R. Admiral the Honorable Josceline Percy, Royal Navy, 1784-1856. Although this mountain is not surmounted by twin peaks, as described by Ross, there are a number of peaks of similar height in its vicinity, one of which may have given rise to Ross' description.
