Mont Ross, Stratovolcano in Kerguelen Islands, France.
Mont Ross reaches 1,850 meters above sea level, standing as the highest mountain in the Kerguelen Islands within the Gallieni Massif of Grande Terre.
In 1975, mountaineers Jean Afanassieff and Patrick Cordier completed the first ground ascent of Mont Ross, marking it as the last French mountain to be climbed.
The mountain received its name in recognition of Sir James Clark Ross, contributing to the French territorial presence in the southern Indian Ocean.
The mountain contains trachybasalt formations and sits at coordinates 49.59 degrees south latitude and 69.49 degrees east longitude in the Gallieni Peninsula.
The volcanic mountain shows evidence of activity from 2 million to 100,000 years ago, with its last recorded eruption occurring around 101 BCE.
