Queer Mountain

Queer Mountain

Queer Mountain (coord|77|8|S|161|45|E|) is a conspicuous black mountain (1,180 m) with steep slopes showing bands of sandstone above the granite, standing 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Killer Ridge, between the Cotton and Miller Glaciers, in Victoria Land. Mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13), it was so named because, though surrounded by glacier, it has nearly every rock in the district, including coal beds, represented on its cliffs.
