The Mount Matin ( French Mont du Matin ), a 2,385 m high and mostly snowy mountain at the Graham Coast in the west of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Kiev peninsula, it towers over the watershed north of the Hotine glacier .
Participants of the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot mapped it. Charcot named it after the French newspaper Le Matin , which contributed generously to the cost of the research trip. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee translated this name into English in 1959.
