Deschanel Peak

Mountain in Antarctica

Deschanel Peak (68°55′S 67°14′W﻿ / ﻿68.917°S 67.233°W﻿ / -68.917; -67.233) is the summit of an isolated, partly ice-covered mountain, 750 metres (2,460 ft) high, rising from the south part of the glacier close southeast of Cape Berteaux on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
