Mount Kent is a mountain on East Falkland, Falkland Islands,[1] It is north of Mount Challenger and saw action in the Falklands War during the Battle of Mount Harriet - some of the area still being cleared of Argentine landmines.
Murrell River rises on Mount Challenger to the south, and tributaries run off Mount Kent, Mount Harriet and Two Sisters.
Mount Kent also has an impressive stone run.
Radar station
The mountain's top is occupied by the RRH Mount Kent (Remote Radar Head Mount Kent) of the British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI),[2] which is part of an early warning and airspace control network including also RRH Mount Alice, and RRH Byron Heights on West Falkland.
