Doublefinger Peak

Doublefinger Peak (76°53′S 162°15′E / 76.883°S 162.250°E / -76.883; 162.250Coordinates: 76°53′S 162°15′E / 76.883°S 162.250°E / -76.883; 162.250) is a peak about 4 nautical miles (7 km) inland from Granite Harbour, just northeast of Mount Marston, in Victoria Land. It was named by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13). A snow filled cleft along the east face of the peak separates two dark rock exposures, suggesting the origin of the name.[1]
