COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

rising to c.1200 m on E side of Simler Snowfield, Graham Coast, was roughly charted by FAE, 1908-10, in 1909 and called Mont Garcia, presumably in association with the original French name for Loqui Point (q.v.) (Charcot, 1912, Pl.3; Bongrain, 1914, vue 18 following p.60). Mount Garcia (BA, 1916, photograph facing p.407; 1948, views facing p.204). Following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, and in association with the names of pioneers of ski-mountaineering grouped in this area, the mountain was named after Mathias Zdarsky (d.1940), Austrian ski-runner, inventor of the first dependable ski binding, and author of Lilienfeld Skilauf-Technik (Hamburg, 1896), one of the earliest skiing manuals, and BeitraÂge zur Lawinenkunde (Wien, 1929) (APC, 1959a, p.12).

Mountain rising at the E side of Simler Snowfield, between Barilari and Holtedahl Bays on the W coast of Graham Land. First charted and named "Mont Garcia" by the FrAE under Charcot, 1908-10, presumably in association with his nearby "Cap Garcia." Charcot later transferred "Cap Garcia" (now Cape Garcia) to the N entrance of Barilari Bay, leaving the mountain name on the S side. To avoid confusion with Cape Garcia on the other side of Barilari Bay, the UK-APC altered the name of this mountain in 1959 to Mount Zdarsky. Named for Mathias Zdarsky, Austrian pioneer exponent of ski-mountaineering, inventor of the first dependable ski binding, and author of one of the earliest skiing manuals.
