  Mount Carroll (63°26′S 57°03′W﻿ / ﻿63.433°S 57.050°W﻿ / -63.433; -57.050) is a horseshoe-shaped mountain rising to 650 metres (2,130 ft), south of Hope Bay on the Trinity Peninsula. It was discovered and mapped by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld (1901–04) and surveyed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (1945–47), and named in error Mount Carrel after Tom Carroll (b. 1864), Newfoundland boatswain of the ship Eagle, which participated in establishing the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) Hope Bay base in February 1945. The spelling has been amended to correct the original error.
  
  Mount Carroll features a prominent northeastern peak, known as Dimaryp Peak, which rises to 500 metres (1,600 ft) and is situated 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of the head of Hope Bay. This peak is very similar to and has been frequently misidentified in bad weather as The Pyramid, a peak 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) to the east. The name is simply the word "pyramid" reversed.
