Narrative

A prominent mountain, about 1,770 m above sea level, about 11 km north-west of Mount Hunt. Discovered by the NZ Geological Expedition (1964-65). Named after Cerberus, the legendary dog that guarded the entrance to Hades, the underworld of Greek mythology. So named from its sinister dark appearance and its position at the head of the steep northerly drop forming the only route in the vicinity into the Starshot Glacier.
