In Owen Ridge , the southernmost part of the main ridge of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains , it rises 4.3 km southwest of Mount Inderbitzen , 5.35 km west-northwest Peristera Peak and 16.34 km east-northeast of Bergison Peak . Its steep north and south-west slopes are partly not icy. The Nimitz Glacier lies west of it.
