Description
(see definition):
A mountain (c. 1,500 m) between the heads of Arago and Woodbury Glaciers on the W coast of Graham Land. Mapped by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57. So named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 because the feature marked the end of the route from Orel Ice Fringe by which members of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) at Danco Island station had hoped in 1956 to reach Forbidden Plateau. A very steep drop on the E side of the summit precludes further progress.
