Mount Drygalski

Mount Drygalski (53°2′S 73°23′E / 53.033°S 73.383°E / -53.033; 73.383) is an ice-free hill in Antarctica, 210 meters (690 ft) high, standing 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km; 0.81 mi) southeast of Atlas Cove, near the northwest end of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. The feature appears to have been roughly charted on an 1882 sketch map compiled by Ens. Washington Irving Chambers aboard the USS Marion during the rescue of the shipwrecked crew of the American sealing bark 1st German Antarctic Expedition in 1902. Professor Erich von Drygalski, German Antarctic Expedition leader, was a member of the landing party which investigated the area between Rogers Head and the summit of this feature.
