Narrative

A rocky mountain with 3 salient peaks located in the central south of Fildes Peninsula and to the west of Great Wall Station. The steep mountain is covered with fragments of rocks collapsing out of air-slake and the highest peak of which rises straight up with an elevation of 155 meters. The west hill slopes comparatively gently while the east inclines sharply. Looking up from the west district of Great Wall Station, one can find the mountain seems like a screen towering aloft. And as for one setting out for Great Wall Station from west coast of the peninsula, the gate at north foot of the mountain is supposed to be passed through, which is just like going beyond the pass. It was named when surveying and mapping during the first Chinese Antarctic Expedition in 1984.
