'''Monte Buckland''' is a prominent peak in [Alberto de Agostini National Park](/source/Alberto_de_Agostini_National_Park), in the [Chile](/source/Chile)an portion of [Tierra del Fuego](/source/Tierra_del_Fuego). It towers over a narrow peninsula between [Agostini Fjord](/source/Agostini_Fjord) and Fitton bay, which is an eastward projection of the Gabriel Channel, which separates [Dawson Island](/source/Dawson_Island) from [Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego](/source/Isla_Grande_de_Tierra_del_Fuego). The mounts Sella, Aosta and Giordano are located to the southeast of Mt Buckland and have distinctive shapes.
  
[Phillip Parker King](/source/Phillip_Parker_King)'s description of the mountain:
{{blockquote|Close to the east end of the Gabriel Channel is Mount Buckland, a tall obelisk-like hill, terminating in a sharp needlepoint, and lifting its head above a chaotic mass of 'reliquiæ diluvianæ,' covered with perpetual snow, by the melting of which an enormous glacier on the leeward, or north-eastern side, has been gradually formed.<ref name="Phi" >''Voyages of the Adventure and Beagle, Volume I'' – {{Citation
