Mount Markham is a majestic twin-peaked massif, 4,350 and 4,280 m, surmounting the north end of Antarctica's Markham Plateau. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04), it is named for Sir Clements Markham, who, as President of the Royal Geographical Society, planned the expedition and chose Robert Falcon Scott as its leader.^[1]
