A mountain about 5 mi long surmounted by three sharp peaks in an E-W line, the highest of which rises to 2,525 meters. The feature stands at the S side of Albanus Glacier at the point where the latter joins Scott Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains. Discovered by R. Admiral Byrd on the ByrdAE flight to the South Pole in November 1929. The mountain was visited in December 1934 by the ByrdAE geological party under Quin Blackburn. Named by Byrd for Darryl F. Zanuck, official of Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures, who assisted the ByrdAE, 1933-35, in assembling motion-picture records, and later supplied the USAS, 1939-41, with motion-picture projectors.
