    Lawson Peak
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Lawson Peak is a peak 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Cape Evensen on Stresher Peninsula on the west
    coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 195657, and mapped
    from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The peak was named by the UK Antarctic
    Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Sir Arnold Lawson (18671947), an English ophthalmic surgeon whose
    work in tinted glass contributed to improvements in the protective qualities of snow goggles. The peak is a
    prominent landmark when seen from the southwest.[1]
