Description (see definition): A mainly ice-covered mountain (2,865 m), which may be identified by the exposed horizontal bedding on the N face, located at the NE end of Buckeye Table, Ohio Range. The name was proposed by U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geologist William Long, a member of the Horlick Mountains Traverse party 1958-59, who, with Charles Bentley, Frederic Darling and Jack Long, climbed to the summit in Dec. 1958. Glossopteris is a prehistoric fernlike plant whose imprint was found on rocks of this mountain.
