Marujupu Peak

Marujupu Peak

Marujupu Peak (coord|76|31|S|145|37|W|) is a conspicuous nunatak standing above the main flow of Ochs Glacier, between Mounts Iphigene and Ferranto in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land. Discovered and so named by Richard Evelyn Byrd on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition flight of December 5, 1929. Marujupu combines the letters from the names of three daughters and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sulzberger. The daughters are Marian, Ruth and Judy; Punch is the nickname of son Arthur. The Sulzbergers were patrons of the expedition.
