claimed by the uk, was recently re—measured and found to tower above the previous title holder, mount jackson,239 metres while jackson is 3,184 metres. the map—makers at the british antarctic survey were prompted to take another look at the mountains because of concerns for the safety of pilots flying across the white continent. joining me now from our cambridge studio is adrian fox, head of mapping and geographic information at the british antarctic survey. tell us a bit more about the reasons behind your decision to take another look at the actual height of mount hope. yes, obviously, having accurate information about the heights of mountains is important for aircraft safety and so we have been producing, together with international collaborators, a new serieses of o air operations planning maps and this led us to review the information that we had about mountain heights on the antarctic peninsula, given that we have got access to increasingly good satellite imagery, and this made us realise we believe that the height of mount hope was significantly inaccurate. so they were done through sat
