Mount Jacquinot

Mount Jacquinot (63°22′S 57°53′W / 63.367°S 57.883°W / -63.367; -57.883) is a pyramidal peak, 475 m, with exposed rock on its north side, lying 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Cape Legoupil and 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Huon Bay, on the north side of Trinity Peninsula. Discovered by a French expedition, 1837–40, under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, who named it for Lieutenant Charles Jacquinot, commander of the expedition corvette Zelee.

There was some controversy regarding claims of who found the continent first -- Edward Bransfield or Nathaniel Palmer. In these debates, Mont Jacquinot figured prominently.^[1]
