Wikipedia

Painted Peak, also called Painted Hill, (67°45′S 62°51′E) is a prominent peak, 710-metre (2,330 ft), on the northern end of the North Masson Range in the Framnes Mountains, Mac. Robertson Land. It was aerially photographed in 1936-1937 and later mapped from these photos by Norwegian cartographers in 1946. It was first visited by an ANARE team in 1955. The ANCA named it for its prominent red-brown coloring. USACAN accepted the name in 1965. It was used as a tellurometer station in 1962.
