Mount Pond (in Argentina Monte Campbell ) is a 540 m high mountain in the east of Deception Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 2.5 km east-southeast of Pendulum Cove .
The name of the mountain appears for the first time in 1829 on a map based on the Antarctic voyage of the British polar traveler Henry Foster with the HMS Chanticleer (1827-1831). It is named after the British astronomer John Pond (1767–1836). The name giver of the Argentine name is a frigate captain of the Argentine Navy , who carried out the first photogrammetric survey of the island in 1948 .
