Mount Taylor (Antarctica)


Mount Taylor is a large, flat-topped mountain, high, having steep cliffs on the north-east side, standing west-southwest of the head of Hope Bay at the north-east end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. The mountain was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1946 and named in 1948 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Captain Andrew Taylor, commander of the FIDS and leader of its base at Hope Bay in 1945.
