Mont Crozier, Summit in Kerguelen Archipelago, French Southern Territories.

Mont Crozier rises 979 meters above sea level on the Courbet Peninsula of Grande Terre, featuring steep slopes of olivine basalt formations.

The British Challenger expedition named this peak in 1874 to honor Francis Crozier, commander of HMS Terror during the 1840 Antarctic expedition.

Edgar Aubert de la Rüe and Comorian Moilimou Zitoumbi made the first recorded ascent of Mont Crozier in February 1952.

The summit stands near Port-aux-Français research station, requiring careful preparation and suitable weather conditions for climbing attempts.

Mont Crozier ranks as the 93rd most prominent mountain in France with an 843-meter rise above surrounding terrain.
