“The particular configuration of this eminence, struck me so forcibly by the similarity it bears to a tumulus elevated in Krakow over the tomb of the patriot Kosciuszko, that although in a foreign country, on foreign ground, but amongst a free people. Who appreciate freedom and its votaries; I could not refrain from giving it the name of Mount Kosciuszko.”
- Paul Strzelecki
