Description
WikipediaHollister Peak is a 4,729-metre-high (15,515 ft) sharp peak in the central part of the ice-covered Vinson Plateau in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It surmounts the head of Roché Glacier to the north. The peak was named by US-ACAN in 2006 after the geologist and oceanographer Charles Davis Hollister (1936–1999), who was a member of the 1966–1967 American Antarctic Mountaineering Expedition that made the first ascent of Mount Vinson (the highest point of Antarctica) and other high mountains in the Sentinel Range.
