Mount Agamemnon

Mount Agamemnon

Mount Agamemnon (coord|64|38|S|63|31|W|) is a snow-covered mountain, 2,575 m, marking the south limit of the Achaean Range in the central part of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It is part of the Mount Francais massif but has a separate summit 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the main peak of Mount Francais. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1944, and again in 1955. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Agamemnon, Commander in Chief of the Achaean forces at Troy in Homer's "Iliad".
