Mount Robinson is a mountain on West Falkland. It was known as "Monte Independencia" in Spanish,[1] until it was found Mount Adam was higher. It is the second highest point on the island. It is close to the source of the Warrah River.[2] During the Falklands War, Argentine forces installed a radar on the mountain.[3]
