Mount Leo

Mount Leo (69°29′S 67°0′W / 69.483°S 67°W / -69.483; -67) is an isolated mountain (1,270 m) at the southeast margin of Forster Ice Piedmont on the west side of Antarctic Peninsula. The mountain has steep rock cliffs on its south side. First roughly surveyed by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE). 1936-37. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947, and resurveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1958. The name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) is suggestive of the shape of the feature, which resembles a recumbent lion.
