Narrative

One of the Napier Mountains in Enderby Land, about 22 km east of Armstrong Peak. The mountain is about 1,520 m above sea level. The Napier Mountains were discovered in January, 1930, by BANZARE (1929-31) under Sir Douglas Mawson. This feature was plotted by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photography taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936037) and called Skorefjell. An ANARE dog-sledge party led by S.L. Kirkby passed closed by the feature in 1960. Named after Dr. T.F. Bride, a member of the first Australian Antarctic Exploration Committee of 1886.
