Mount Moses

Mount Moses (74°33′S 99°11′W) is, at 750 metres (2,460 ft), the highest and most prominent of the Hudson Mountains of Antarctica, located near the center of the group, about 14 nautical miles (26 km) north-northeast of Mount Manthe. It was mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert L. Moses, a geomagnetist and seismologist at Byrd Station in 1967.[1]
