Mount Christi

Mount Christi is a mountain rising to 1,256 metres (4,121 ft)[1][2] in the northern Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The name "Cape Christi" was given for the north cape of Smith Island by a British expedition under Henry Foster, 1828–31, but that feature had already been named Cape Smith.

Since the latter name is approved for the cape, the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee recommended in 1953 that for the sake of historical continuity the name "Christi" be approved for the mountain now described.

[3] The peak is located at 62°54′33.4″S 62°24′01″W / 62.909278°S 62.40028°W / -62.909278; -62.40028 which is 4.74 km northeast of Mount Pisgah, 3.36 km south-southwest of Delyan Point and 3.22 km southwest of Matochina Peak (Bulgarian mapping in 2009).
