Wilkinson Peaks


The Wilkinson Peaks, also known as Langnabbane, is a group of peaks in the Napier Mountains standing southeast of Mount Griffiths and northeast of Mount Elkins in Enderby Land.

Discovery and naming

The Wilkinson Peaks were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition of 1936–37 and were called Langnabbane. They were visited in 1961 by an ANARE sledge party and renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Brian Geoffrey Wilkinson, the assistant diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1961.
