Mount Martin (Antarctica)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Martin () is a mountain, 1,360 m, with conspicuous rock exposures on its southeast side, standing immediately north of the head of Anthony Glacier on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The mountain lies on the fringe of the area explored by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) in 1936, and was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in 1940. During 1947 the mountain was photographed from the air by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for Orville Martin, electronics engineer who was of assistance in planning and obtaining radio equipment necessary for Ronne's expedition.
