It is situated south of [Vidin Heights](/source/Vidin_Heights) and north of [Mount Friesland](/source/Mount_Friesland), [Tangra Mountains](/source/Tangra_Mountains) to which it is linked by [Wörner Gap](/source/W%C3%B6rner_Gap). The origin of the name is uncertain; it appears (poorly positioned and probably intended for some other peak on the island) on the 1829 chart of the [British](/source/United_Kingdom) expedition (1828–31) under Captain [Henry Foster](/source/Henry_Foster_(scientist)) in ''HMS'' {{HMS|Chanticleer|1808|2}}. Mount Bowles was first climbed by [Àlex Simón](/source/%C3%80lex_Sim%C3%B3n_i_Casanovas), Vicente Castro, David Hita and a friend from [Juan Carlos I base](/source/Juan_Carlos_I_Antarctic_Base) on January 5, 2003.{{cite aaj|article_id=12200333300|title=Antarctica, Antarctic Peninsula, Summary of Activities|year=2003|volume=77|issue=45|page=333|isbn=978-0-930410-93-3|access-date=2025-01-12}} ==Location== thumb|left|Location of Bowles Ridge on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands.
