Mount Paget, Mountain summit in South Georgia, British Overseas Territory.

Mount Paget is the highest peak in the Allardyce Range, rising 2,935 meters above sea level. The summit dominates South Georgia's landscape with snow-covered slopes and exposed rock faces.

The name comes from Admiral Alfred Wyndham Paget (1852–1918), who commanded a Royal Navy squadron from which HMS Sappho was sent to South Georgia on a survey voyage in 1906. The west peak (2,915 m) was climbed in December 1960 by Captain V. N. Stevenson, Lt. Cdr. M. K. Burly and Corporal B. Todd, landing at Cape Darnley by helicopter from HMS Protector. The main summit was reached on 30 December 1964 by Lieutenant S. H. Down, Sergeant T. J. Lynch and Senior Airman J. R. Chester of a British Combined Services expedition.

The name comes from Admiral Alfred Wyndham Paget (1852–1918), who commanded a Royal Navy squadron from which HMS Sappho was sent to survey South Georgia in 1906. Early sealers and whalers already knew the saddle-shaped peak, and the name passed into general use.

Visitors need advanced climbing skills and specialized gear to handle the steep, snow-covered slopes. Extreme weather conditions at altitude demand careful planning and physical preparation.

The peak ranks 23rd globally for topographic isolation, making it one of the most independent mountains worldwide. This distinction makes it notable for climbers seeking truly isolated summits.
