The Grand Dominion of Bauralis recognizes two mountain ranges located in Western Antarctica, on the Bauralis Peninsula, as points of symbolic elevation.
Although they are not subject to any distinct territorial claim, these peaks are integrated into the ideological reading of the territory, as vertical pillars of the southern structure.
¶ ✦ 1. Chancellor Peak
(formerly Mitchell Peak)
- 📍 Coordinates:
76°25′S, 147°22′W - 🧭 Location: 24 km west of the Ghost Peaks (formerly Birchall Peaks),
on the southern side of the Bauralis Peninsula, between the coast and the glacial center - 🗓️ Symbolically renamed on June 24, 2013
- 🔗 Linked to: Decree n°001 / 2013 / NOM (fr)
This isolated summit was renamed on the first anniversary of the Principality of Bauralis.
It represents a vertical founding act, an elevation of the Chancellor’s function,
within a geography that is silent, remote, and unclaimed.
¶ 🧊 Significance
- Symbolic anchor point of Bauralis authority
- Invisible natural monument, dedicated to the constancy of power in cold
- It does not mark personal power, but a structural permanence
"It does not rise to dominate, but to uphold the invisible shape of silence."
¶ ✦ 2. The Ghost Peaks
(formerly Birchall Peaks)
- 📍 Coordinates:
76°29′S, 146°20′W - 🧭 Location: 5.6 km west of Mount Iphigene,
on the southern shore of Block Bay, set back from the coast - 🗓️ Symbolically renamed on June 24, 2020
- 🔗 Linked to: Decree n°001 / 2020 / SYM (fr)
These peaks form a discreet rocky group, little explored and isolated,
renamed on the occasion of the nation’s tenth anniversary.
¶ 🧊 Significance
- Creation of a spectral axis between North and South poles
- Symbolic reflection of the Snow Ghosts of the North
- Contemplative symmetry between southern verticality and boreal silence
"The Ghost Peaks do not watch.
They persist without gaze, without weight, without haste."
¶ ✦ Status of the Peaks
| Peak | Status | Date of Naming | Link Type | Coordinates |

| Ghost Peaks | Symbolic | June 24, 2020 | Symmetry (North) | 76°29′S, 146°20′W |
These peaks are considered vertical figures of silence.
They are not claimed, not visited, and have no geopolitical status.
They form a frozen mental map, readable only by the Dominion's internal structure.
