Narrative

A prominent mountain along the Watson Escarpment, rising to 3170m and forming the highest point of the ridge that runs north from Phleger Dome, Stanford Plateau.

Named For

The feature was visited in 1977-78 by a U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) - Arizona State University geological party, led by Edmund Stump, and named after Mount Analogue, a mythical mountain forming the link between heaven and earth, so high the summit is obscured by clouds, as described in the unfinished novel of the same name by René Daumal. This mountain was obscured by clouds during much of the visit by the USARP party.
