Mount Blunt

Mount Blunt (68°48′S 65°48′W / 68.8°S 65.8°W / -68.8; -65.8) is a rounded ice-covered mountain (1,500 m) rising from the west flank of Weyerhaeuser Glacier, on the east side of Antarctic Peninsula. The mountain was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) on September 28, 1940. It was roughly surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in December 1958, and resurveyed in November 1960. Named by United Kingdom 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).
