Climbing history
It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. It was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named after Professor Pierre Arronax, the central character in Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. A number of features on the island are named for characters in the book.
