Mount Kent

East Falkland, Falkland Islands, south Atlantic Ocean

Mount Kent is a mountain on East Falkland, Falkland Islands,[1] and is 1,093 ft (333 m) high.[2] It is located north of Mount Challenger.

## History[edit]

Position of Mount Kent relative to other surrounding hills

The mountain saw action during the Falklands War during the Assault on Mount Kent, part of the larger Battle of Mount Harriet. Some of the location is still mined.

The mountain's top is occupied by the RRH Mount Kent (Remote Radar Head Mount Kent) of the British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI),[3] part of an early warning and airspace control network including also RRH Mount Alice and RRH Byron Heights on West Falkland.
