Storm Mountain
Falkland Islands
Range: Byron Heights
West Falkland
Summit: 1,709 feet 51°25’52"S, 60°32’24"W

Storm Mountain is the heighest peak of a compact range of hills on West Falkland in the Falkland Islands known as the Byron Heights

The Byron Heights occupy on a narrow peninsula jutting out into the sea between Byron Sound and King George Bay, ending at a wild headland facing Westpoint Island.

The name of the mountain is appropriate: its high, exposed location leaves it open to being battered by the South Atlantic storms.
