Trojan Range

List of geographical features

Mountains

• Mount Français is a majestic, snow-covered mountain of 2,760 m, which forms the summit of Anvers Island, standing southeast of the center of the island and 6 miles north of Borgen Bay. It was first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, who explored the southeast coast of the island in 1898 and later sighted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who named it for the expedition ship Francais.
• Mount Hector is a snow-covered mountain, 2,225 metres, between Mount Francais and Mount Priam in the southern part of the Trojan Range. Surveyed by the FIDS in 1955. Named by the UK-APC for Hector, son of Priam and Commander in Chief of the Trojan and allied armies against the Achaeans in Homer's Iliad.
• Mount Priam is the central mass of the Trojan Range, standing 4 miles north of Mount Francais. It is flat-topped and snow-covered and rises to 1,980 m. Surveyed in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Priam, King of Troy in Homer's Iliad. Xanthus Spur is a mainly ice-covered spur extending northwestward from Mount Priam for three miles. It was named for Xanthus, son of Zeus and the god of one of the two chief rivers of the Trojan plain.
