Pyramid Mountain (Antarctica)

Pyramid Mountain (Antarctica)

Pyramid Mountain (coord|77|47|S|160|40|E|) is a mountain resembling a pyramid, rising to 2,120 m between Turnabout Valley and the mouth of Beacon Valley, in the Quartermain Mountains, Victoria Land. The name seems first to appear on maps of the British Antarctic Expedition (R.F. Scott), 1910-13, but the mountain was almost certainly seen for the first time during Scott's first expedition, 1901-04.
