The Mont Cervin ( English Mount Cervin ) is a 30 m high and rocky hill on the east side of the Pétrel Island in the East Antarctic Géologie Archipelago .
Participants in a French Antarctic expedition mapped it in 1951 and named it because of its shape after the Matterhorn ( French Mont Cervin ) in the Valais Alps .
