Narrative

Conspicuous rock mountain, 900 m, marking the NW extremity of the Shackleton Range. First mapped in 1957 by the CTAE and so named because members of the CTAE established a depot of food and fuel and an airplane camp on the S side of the mountain in 1957 to support sledging parties working in the Shackleton Range.
