Mount Joyce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Joyce () is a prominent, dome-shaped mountain, 1,830 m, standing 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Mount Howard in the Prince Albert Mountains, Victoria Land. It was first mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09, which named it for Ernest Joyce who was in charge of general stores, dogs, sledges, and zoological collections with the expedition and who had earlier been with the Discovery expedition, 1901-04. Joyce was also with the Ross Sea Party of Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914-17.
