Narrative

A mountain 3040m high, in the Queen Alexandra Range. Lying east of Mt Kirkpatrick, it forms the most conspicuous landmark along the west side of Beardmore Glacier. Discovered in December 1908 by the Southern Polar Party of the BAE, 1907-09, and named by them because a cloud usually appeared near the summit, providing a useful landmark during the journey up the Beardmore Glacier.
