Le Bicorne

Le Bicorne is a mountain in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Located in the Rallier du Baty Peninsula, near the southwestern shore of Kerguelen, it rises to a height of 1,202 metres (3,944 ft) above sea level. This mountain is the highest point on the peninsula and a prominent landmark. It was first named by French polar explorer Albert Bauer during an exploration of the Cook Glacier in 1961-1962. Bauer deemed that the two peaks atop the mountain resembled the bicorne hat worn by the members of the École polytechnique to which he belonged.
