Hosta

Mount Parry is a mountain in Stribog Mountains, Antarctica (within the claims of the United Kingdom, Argentina and Chile.) with an elevation of 2,520 metres (8,268 ft).^[3] Mount Parry rises eastward of Minot Point and dominates the central portion of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It has steep and partly ice-free north and west slopes, and surmounts Djerassi Glacier to the north-northwest, Mackenzie Glacier to the east, Balanstra Glacier to the south-southeast and Pirogov Glacier to the southwest.

Mount Parry was first ascended by the British Joint Services Expedition led by John Furse on 30 October 1984.^[2]

Etymology

The peak appears to have been named by Captain Henry Foster, Royal Navy, of the Chanticleer expedition in 1829 and since has gained international usage.
