Narrative

A prominent flat-topped coastal mountain which is marked by distinctive rock spurs and steep cliffs, rising to 1,200 m S of Mill Inlet on Foyn Coast, Graham Land. The feature was roughly surveyed by FIDS, 1947, and was photographed from the air by RARE, 1947, and the U.S. Navy, 1963. Following surveys by BAS, 1963-64, and in association with the names of Antarctic historians grouped in this area, it was named by UK-APC after Henry M. Dater (1909-74), U.S. Navy Historian; member of U.S. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1962-72 (Chairman, 1973-74); co-author (with E. Schulthess and G.J. Dufek) of Anarctica, Zurich, 1959.
