Le Bicorne, Summit in Kerguelen Islands, France
Le Bicorne reaches an elevation of 1,202 meters and features two distinct peaks that stand above the Arago and Jean Brunhes glaciers in the Rallier du Baty range.
The summit was first documented by Albert Bauer during a reconnaissance mission near Cook Glacier between 1961 and 1962 in the French Southern Territories.
The mountain received its name from its dual-pointed shape, which resembles the traditional bicorn hat worn by students of the École Polytechnique.
The exact geographic coordinates of the summit are 49 degrees 35 minutes 16 seconds South and 68 degrees 53 minutes 1 second East in the Indian Ocean.
The summit forms a natural boundary between two major glaciers of the Rallier du Baty Peninsula, creating a landscape characteristic of subantarctic regions.
