Charpentier Pyramid

Charpentier Pyramid (-80.26667°N, -25.61667°W) is a pyramid-shaped peak rising to 1,080 m in the northwest part of the Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Jean de Charpentier, a Swiss engineer and mineralogist who in 1835 gave additional proof on the former extension of glaciers.
