There is a difficulty with these two peaks. From the above two sets of data it would appear that Peak 50 is north-east of Peak 51, and Visser's map shows them as correctly identified. On the other hand, De Filippi shows twin peaks, roughly in the same position, of which one, with a height of 24,250, is north-west of the other, 24,240. We have preferred the evidence of Wood, Collins, and Visser.
This point, about 21,000 feet, was climbed by Dr. Neve and named 'Panamik Peak', not very suitably.

We suggest this name from the glacier draining it.
