Narrative

rising to 300m S of Point Wild, Elephant Island, was roughly mapped by BITAE in April-August 1916 as a distinct mountain, as indeed it appears from the N; named Mount Frank Houlder after Frank Houlder, of the Houlder Steamship Line, who assisted BITAE (Shackleton, 1919, photograph facing p.147; Wordie, 1921b, p.22 and map p.24).
