A new high UK’S biggest mountain grows by 1,237ft

The UK has a new highest mountain after British scientists discovered explorers in the Thirties got their measurements wrong. Mount Hope in the British Antarctic Territory is 1,237ft higher than previously thought, standing at 10,654ft (3,239m) above sea level, meaning it overtakes Mount Jackson as the highest peak in the territory, by just 55m (180ft). The new measurement relied on satellite technology.
