Names that other countries have for this feature:
A volcanic cone lying west of Mt Lubbock, and west of the south end of Daniell Peninsula, between the Lady Newnes Ice Shelf and Whitehall Glacier, in line with the latter. A brief description was given by Ferrar of the NAE, 1901-04, but he misidentified it with Mt Brewster. Named by the NZGSAE, 1957-58, for G T Prior of the Mineral Department, British Museum, who made several petrographic studies of collections of volcanic and other rocks from the Ross Sea region, and rendered much help in the publication of the geological results obtained by Ferrar on the NAE, 1901-04.
