Narrative

Descubierto en 1936 por una partida en trineo de la BGLE al mando de John Rymill. Durante 1947 fue fotografiado desde el aire por la RARE, al mando de Ronne, quien en conjunto con el FIDS lo cartografió desde tierra. El nombre se lo colocó Sir Miles Clifford, gobernador de las islas Falkland, y corresponde al apellido de su tío, Sir John Tenniel, 1820-1914, notable artista inglés de la ilustración, humorista y caricaturista político. Monte de aproximadamente 1.600 metros de elevación, que se ubica a unas 7 millas al WNW de la boca del glaciar Clifford, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
