Giovanni Peak

Giovanni Peak (70°2′S 71°22′W / 70.033°S 71.367°W / -70.033; -71.367Coordinates: 70°2′S 71°22′W / 70.033°S 71.367°W / -70.033; -71.367) is a peak rising to about 500 m at the south end of Debussy Heights, above Mozart Ice Piedmont in the north part of Alexander Island, Antarctica.

First mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in association with the Mozart Ice Piedmont after Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, composed on October 29, 1787. Giovanni Peak seems to have some relation with nearby Figaro Nunatak, both landforms are named after operas composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and are both somewhat similar in height.^[1]
