Mount Kent, Mountain summit in East Falkland, Falkland Islands.

Mount Kent is a summit on East Falkland, rising to around 460 meters (1,510 feet), with rocky outcrops and low grass-covered ground typical of the islands. The open terrain near the top gives way to wide views over the surrounding hills and plains.

During the 1982 Falklands War, the summit was a key position in the British advance toward Stanley. After the conflict ended, a radar station was built at the top and has remained operational ever since.

The hill is named after the English county of Kent, where Charles Darwin was living when he set sail on HMS Beagle, which reached the Falklands in 1863; the Spanish form is Cerro Kent. On the northern flank, the remains of two Argentine helicopters from the 1982 war still lie on the ground.

The summit is occupied by RRH Mount Kent, a British Forces South Atlantic Islands radar site whose accommodation and working areas were rebuilt between 2016 and 2025. Access to the hill is therefore arranged around a working military installation, so visitors should check conditions with local authorities before setting out. The Falkland Islands were fully de-mined by 2020.

The remains of two Argentine helicopters still lie on the northern flank of Mount Kent, left where they came down during the 1982 fighting. Visitors who know where to look can pick them out on the slope below the summit.
