Mount Christi


Mount Christi is a mountain rising to 1,280 metres (4,200 ft) in the northern Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak overlooks Kongur Glacier to the west-northwest, Saparevo Glacier to the north and Ritya Glacier to the southeast.

The name "Cape Christi" was given for the north cape of Smith Island by a British expedition under Henry Foster, 1828–31, but that feature had already been named Cape Smith. Since the latter name is approved for the cape, the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee recommended in 1953 that for the sake of historical continuity the name "Christi" be approved for the mountain now described.

The peak is located at 62°54′33.4″S 62°24′01″W / 62.909278°S 62.40028°W / -62.909278; -62.40028 which is 4.74 km northeast of Mount Pisgah, 3.36 km south-southwest of Delyan Point and 3.22 km southwest of (Bulgarian mapping in 2009). The USGS gives the location as 62°55′S 62°24′W / 62.917°S 62.400°W / -62.917; -62.400Coordinates: 62°55′S 62°24′W / 62.917°S 62.400°W / -62.917; -62.400.
