It rises at the end of a ridge that extends from Mount Parry towards Lanusse Bay . It is located 2.46 km northwest of Mount Parry, 3.85 km east-northeast of Minot Point and 6.3 km southeast of Driencourt Point . Its steep south-west, north-west and north-east slopes are partially free of ice. The Djerassi glacier is north of it.
