Mont Havergal

Mont Havergal is a mountain in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Located in the Loranchet Peninsula at the northern end of Kerguelen, between Baie de l'Oiseau and Baie de la Dauphine, it rises to a height of above sea level. To the north lies Baie Ducheyron, the northernmost bay of Kerguelen.

History

This mountain was named in 1874 during the Challenger expedition after Arthur Havergal, second lieutenant of navigation on the HMS Challenger.
Mont Havergal was explored ten years later during the Ross expedition by Robert McCormick. He found fossilized tree trunks on its slopes and concluded that Kerguelen had been covered by forests in a previous era.
