The Proud Peak is a 1,585 m high mountain on the Danco Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Arctowski Peninsula , it looms near the head of Beaupré Cove .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it using aerial photographs from Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1956 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the German inventor Franz Stolze (1836-1910), who in 1893 had developed the principle of the so-called "wandering space mark" in stereophotogrammetry .
