Mount Roots

Mount Roots rises to an elevation of 2,280 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and extensive ice formations along its slopes.

The mountain remained unconquered until recent times, with the first documented climbing attempt taking place in February 1997 by Royal Marine mountaineers.

Several scientific expeditions have utilized Mount Roots as a research location for studying glacial formations and environmental patterns in South Georgia.
