Strover Peak


Strover Peak is a low rock peak along the coast of Antarctica, standing 6 nautical miles west-northwest of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named "Svartmulen". Renamed by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for W.G.H. Strover, radio supervisor at Davis Station in 1963 and a member of the ANARE party that surveyed this feature. Acceptance of Strover Peak curtails the repetitive use of "Svart" in Antarctic names.
