Monte Shipton, Mountain summit in Tierra del Fuego, Chile.

Monte Shipton is the highest summit of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, rising to 2,469 m in the Cordillera Darwin within Alberto de Agostini National Park. It is made of crystalline schists, and its southern slope is covered by an ice field. To its south lies Cerro York Minster, which separates it from Monte Darwin (2,438 m).

The first ascent was made in February 1962 by Eric Shipton with Chileans Cedomir Marangunic, Eduardo García and Francisco Vivanco, who named the peak cerro Darwin without knowing that name already belonged to a lower neighbour. In 1970 a New Zealand expedition called the higher summit Monte Shipton, and in 2002 the Instituto Geográfico Militar de Chile accepted the name.

The peak's name honours Eric Shipton, the British explorer and mountaineer who climbed it with Cedomir Marangunic, Eduardo García and Francisco Vivanco in February 1962. Chile's Instituto Geográfico Militar accepted the name in 2002 after a campaign by his son John, ending decades of confusion with the nearby Monte Darwin.

Climbing this peak requires advanced mountaineering equipment and thorough preparation for extreme weather conditions in this southern location. Visitors should carefully assess weather forecasts and plan realistic time frames, as conditions can shift rapidly.

The 1962 first ascent by Eric Shipton, Cedomir Marangunic, Eduardo García and Francisco Vivanco gave the peak its name, but Chile's Instituto Geográfico Militar only officially accepted "Monte Shipton" in 2002, after a campaign by Shipton's son John. Earlier maps marked the summit merely as a 2,469 m point.
