'Mount McClintock' is the highest mountain (3,492 m) in the Australian Antarctic Territory and in Britannia Range, surmounting the south end of Forbes Ridge, 10 kilometres (6 miles) east of Mount Olympus. It was discovered by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) and named for Admiral Sir Leopold McClintock, Royal Navy, a member of the Ship Committee for the expedition. Technically it is the highest peak in Australia.
