Mount Usborne, Highest summit in East Falkland, Falkland Islands.
Mount Usborne rises 705 meters above sea level, featuring stone runs across its slopes and a glacial cirque with a tarn on its northern face.
The mountain received its name from Alexander Burns Usborne, who served as Master's Assistant during Charles Darwin's expedition on HMS Beagle in the 1830s.
The summit stands as a geographical landmark for the Falkland Islanders, marking the highest elevation point in the entire South Atlantic archipelago.
Access to Mount Usborne requires prior permission from landowners and involves driving 50 kilometers from Stanley before following dirt tracks to the trailhead.
The mountain contains geological evidence of past glaciation through its corries and morainic ridges, while small glacial lakes rest at their bases.
