Queen Mary's Peak
Queen Mary's Peak is the summit of the island of Tristan da Cunha, in the South Atlantic Ocean.It is named after Mary of Teck, the Queen consort of King George V. It is the highest point of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, and the highest point of any British territory with a permanent population.There was also a 2004 eruption which happened underwater, as there was an earthquake on Tristan da Cunha, as well as pumice that was picked up by fishermen, suggesting that the volcano is still active.[2][4] Queen Mary's Peak was used by sailors on the route from Europe to the Indian Ocean and beyond as a navigational aid.[citation needed] Queen Mary's Peak is the brand name for Tristan da Cunha island knitwear, which is exported to New Zealand.
