Mont Pietri, Mountain summit in Kerguelen Islands, France.
Mont Pietri reaches an elevation of 941 meters and stands as the second highest peak in the Kerguelen Islands, overlooking the French Bay and Laissez-Porter Bay.
The French Navy ship Antares officially registered Mont Pietri in 1931, naming it after François Pietri, who served as the Minister of the French Navy.
The mountain holds geological importance for researchers studying the volcanic composition of the Kerguelen Islands through its diverse rock formations and structures.
The melting snow from Mont Pietri flows down its northeastern slopes, providing a constant water supply to Lake Virgule at the mountain's base.
The mountain's volcano-plutonic structure contains multiple types of volcanic rocks, contributing to the geological understanding of the Kerguelen archipelago formation.
