Mount Hyades (coordinates: 54°47’39″S 68°27’20″W, altitude approximately 1300 m above sea level) was named by Captain Martial in honour of the French doctor Paul Hyades, who was the doctor on the expedition of the ship Romanche, which between 1882 and 1883 explored the lands and channels south of the Strait of Magellan, as far as Cape Horn. During this expedition, Dr. Hyades took the opportunity, among other things, to study the Yaghan population.
