Maya Mountain

Maya Mountain (77°47′S 160°33′E / 77.783°S 160.55°E / -77.783; 160.55) is a small pyramidal mountain, about 2,000 m high, between Aztec Mountain and Pyramid Mountain, just south of Taylor Glacier in Victoria Land. So named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1958–59) because its shape resembles the pyramidal ceremonial platforms used by the Mayan civilization.
