Mount Ader
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Ader () is a mountain along the north side of Breguet Glacier and just southeast of Mount Cornu, in northern Graham Land. Shown on an Argentine government chart in 1957. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Clement Ader (1841-1925), French pioneer aeronaut, probably the first man to leave the ground in a heavier-than-air machine solely as the result of an engine contained in it, on October 9, 1890.
