Pic Guynemer, Mountain summit in Kerguelen Islands, France.
The peak reaches an elevation of 1,088 meters on Grande Terre, located between Laissez-Porter Bay and Penfeld Bay in the Indian Ocean.
German expedition aboard the Gazelle first documented this peak in 1874, initially naming it Richthofen-Eis after geologist Ferdinand von Richthofen.
Raymond Rallier du Baty renamed the mountain in 1922 to honor Georges Guynemer, a French World War I fighter pilot.
Research teams access the mountain through Port-aux-Français station, considering weather conditions and necessary climbing equipment for the ascent.
The mountain stands near Mount Mermoz, forming part of a geological formation that receives direct impact from Southern Ocean wind patterns.
