Description (see definition): A rounded ice-covered mountain (1,500 m) rising from the W flank of Weyerhaeuser Glacier, on the E side of Antarctic Peninsula. The mountain was photographed from the air by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) on Sept. 28, 1940. It was roughly surveyed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in Dec. 1958, and resurveyed in Nov. 1960. Named by UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) after Edmund Blunt (1770-1862), American publisher of charts and sailing directions, whose establishment was acquired by U.S. Government to form the nucleus of the U.S. Hydrographic Office (since 1972, the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic Center).
