Mount Quilmes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Quilmes (63°14′S, 55°37′W) is a mainly snow-covered mountain, 715 m, standing northeast of Haddon Bay on Joinville Island. The name was given during the course of the Argentine Antarctic Expedition (1953-54) and memorializes the battle of the same name in which the Argentine squadron of Admiral Guillermo Brown was engaged.
