Narrative

one of the Hutton Mountains (q.v.), Lassiter Coast, rising to c. 1300m, was seen from the air by RARE as one of several "rock exposures" at the head of Keller Inlet (Ronne, 1948b, p.372) and named after Henry R. Nash, of the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa, a contributor to RARE ([in c. 74°16'S 62°00'W] AGS map, 1948; Ronne, 1948b, p.390). Following survey by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in December 1947, the name was applied to the most prominent peak near the head of Keller Inlet (BA chart 3175, 12.xi.1954; APC, 1955, p.15; DOS 601 sheet W 74 62, 1958; USGS sketch map Ellsworth Land-Palmer Land, 1969; BAS 500P sheet SS 17-20/SE, 1981). Monte Nash (Argentina. MM chart 121, 1954). Mount Mc Elroy (q.v.), in error (USHO chart V30-SP6, 1959). Gora Nash (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). The mountain was photographed from the air by USN, 1965-67, and mapped from air photographs by USGS.
