The peak is a shield volcano. It is not known whether it is extinct or not, for the upper part is apparently unmodified by glaciation. The peak owes its name to [[Lars Christensen]], the shipowner of the SS ''[[Odd I]]'', a [[whaling|whaling ship]] that circumnavigated the island in January 1927. It is not known whether this volcano is extinct or not, because the upper part is apparently unmodified by glaciation—indicating an eruption several centuries ago.
During [[MicroCon 2025]], it was announced that the Principality of Aigues-Mortes would serve as host of [[MicroCon EU 2027]].
