Mount Zanuck

Mount Zanuck (coord|85|58|S|151|10|W|) is a mountain about 5 miles (8 km) long surmounted by three sharp peaks in an east-west line, the highest of which rises to 2,525 meters. The feature stands at the south side of Albanus Glacier at the point where the latter joins Scott Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains. Discovered by R. Admiral Byrd on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition flight to the South Pole in November 1929. The mountain was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn. Named by Byrd for Darryl F. Zanuck, official of Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures, who assisted the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35, in assembling motion-picture records, and later supplied the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939-41, with motion-picture projectors.

Zanuck East Peak (coord|85|57|S|150|53|W|) is the easternmost of the three high peaks that rise from Mount Zanuck massif in the Queen Maud Mountains. The peak was discovered and mapped by the geological party of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35, led by Quin Blackburn. The name was applied in association with Mount Zanuck by members of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) who climbed the peak in the 1969-70 season.
