Mount Dedo ( Spanish Monte Dedo translated Finger Mountain ) in the United Kingdom as Zeiss Needle (English for Zeißnadel ), is a striking and 695 m high mountain on the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises south of Orne Harbor near the end of the Arctowski Peninsula .

Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery mapped it. His descriptive name appears for the first time on an Argentine map from 1954. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee , however, named him on September 23, 1960 after the German entrepreneur Carl Zeiss (1816–1888).
