Mount Taylor (Antarctica)

Mount Taylor is a large, flat-topped mountain, 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) high, having steep cliffs on the north-east side, standing 2.5 miles (4 km) west-southwest of the head of Hope Bay at the north-east end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. The mountain was charted by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946 and named in 1948 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Captain A. Taylor, commander of the FIDS and leader of its base at Hope Bay in 1945.
