Names that other countries have for this feature:
A mountain about 2840 m above sea level, about 44 km west of Cape Douglas on the western side of the Ross Ice Shelf. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04) under Captain R.F. Scott, who named it Durnford Bluff after Admiral Sir John Durnford, a Junior Naval Lord, 1901-04. The generic mount is considered more appropriate than bluff.
