Mount Faraway

Mount Faraway (79°12′S 28°49′W / 79.2°S 28.817°W / -79.2; -28.817) is a prominent, snow-covered mountain, 1,175 m, marking the south extremity of the Theron Mountains. Discovered by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1956, and so named because during days of sledging toward this mountain they never seemed to be any nearer to it.
