An Entity of Type: mountain, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Mimas Peak (71°56′S 69°36′W / 71.933°S 69.600°W) is a sharp conspicuous peak, rising to about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) west of the head of Saturn Glacier and 9 nautical miles (17 km) west of the Dione Nunataks in the southeast part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was first seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. The peak was sighted from a distance in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and roughly positioned. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for its association with nearby Saturn Glacier, Mimas being one of the satellites of the planet Saturn. The peak and surrounding area were first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedi

dbo:abstract
  • Der Mimas Peak ist ein spitzer und rund 1000 m hoher Berg im Südosten der westantarktischen Alexander-I.-Insel. Im Osten der Herschel Heights ragt er 15 km westlich der Dione-Nunatakker und westlich des Kopfendes des Saturn-Gletschers auf. Der US-amerikanische Polarforscher Lincoln Ellsworth fertige am 23. November 1935 die ersten Luftaufnahmen an, die dem US-amerikanischen Kartografen W. L. G. Joerg für eine grobe Kartierung dienten. Eine weitere Positionsbestimmung unternahm der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey im Jahr 1949. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn 1955 in Anlehnung an die Benennung des benachbarten Saturn-Gletschers nach dem Saturnmond Mimas. Eine detaillierte Kartierung dieses Bergs und der Umgebung nahm der britische Geograph Derek Searle 1960 anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) vor.

It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for its association with nearby Saturn Glacier, Mimas being one of the satellites of the planet Saturn. The peak and surrounding area were first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition 1947–48, by of the FIDS in 1960. Note that some maps incorrectly attach the name to a subsidiary and smaller peak off the east flank of the mountain. The name is actually attached to the highest peak in the Herschel Heights range. Mimas Peak was climbed by Paul Doubleday (British Antarctic Survey geologist) and Brian Hull (field guide) on 3 January 1993, as part of geological research in the area. In December 2012, of the British Antarctic Survey ascended the peak. (en)
  • Mimas Peak är en bergstopp i Antarktis. Den ligger i Västantarktis. Argentina, Chile och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Mimas Peak är 1 000 meter över havet, eller 451 meter över den omgivande terrängen. Bredden vid basen är 5,7 km. Terrängen runt Mimas Peak är huvudsakligen lite kuperad. Mimas Peak är den högsta punkten i trakten. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)
