Mount Lacroix


Mount Lacroix is a prominent mountain with red vertical cliffs and a rounded summit, high, surmounting the northeast end of Booth Island, in the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot and named by him after French mineralogist and geologist Alfred Lacroix, who was a member of the scientific commission for the French expeditions of 1903–05 and 1908–10.
