Mount Dodge
Mount Dodge (84°52′S 172°22′W) is a mainly ice-free peak in Antarctica, 1,760 metres (5,770 ft) high, on a mountain spur descending northward from the Prince Olav Mountains, at the confluence of Holzrichter Glacier and Gough Glacier. It was discovered by the U.S. Ross Ice Shelf Traverse Party (1957–58) under Albert P. Crary, and named for Professor Carroll W. Dodge, who analyzed and reported upon lichens and lichen parasites for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35).[1]
