{{coord|77|32|S|166|53|E}}. 
An independent cone at an elevation of {{convert|1,800|m}} high on the west slopes of Mount Erebus. From McMurdo Sound it appears as a perfect pyramid of black rock, standing out as a splendid mark against the background of the ice and almost on a line from [[Cape Royds]] to the crater of Mount Erebus. 
The cone itself is about {{convert|100|m}} high high and is surrounded by a deep moat or ditch, caused by the sweeping action of strong winds. 
It was named by F. Debenham on the second ascent of Mount Erebus for F.J. Hooper, a steward of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. 
Hooper was one of the party making the second ascent.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=344}}
