Mont Tizard is the highest point of the Joan of Arc Peninsula. It rises only 1.3 kilometers (0.81 mi) to the north of the seashore. A small mountain lake lies close to the eastern slope.[2]
This mountain was named in 1874 during the Challenger expedition after Thomas Henry Tizard, second-in-command of the HMS Challenger.[3]
