Mount Christi
Mount Christi is a mountain rising to I.M. Howat, C. Porter, B.E. Smith, M.-J. Noh and P. Morin. Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA). Polar Geospatial Center. University of Minnesota, 2022Antarctic REMA Exlorer in the northern Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak overlooks Kongur Glacier to the west-northwest, Saparevo Glacier to the north and Ritya Glacier to the southeast. The name "Cape Christi" was given for the north cape of Smith Island by a British expedition under Henry Foster, 1828–31, but that feature had already been named Cape Smith. Since the latter name is approved for the cape, the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee recommended in 1953 that for the sake of historical continuity the name "Christi" be approved for the mountain now described. Location The peak is located at which is 4.74 km northeast of Mount Pisgah, 3.36 km south-southwest of Delyan Point and 3.22 km southwest of Matochina Pe ...
