Mount Whitcombe

Mount Whitcombe (76°46′S 162°12′E) is a large mountain, 1,425 m (4,675 ft) high, standing just north of Mount Perseverance and west of Mount Arrowsmith at the west side of Evans Piedmont Glacier in Victoria Land in Antarctica. It was mapped in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) and named by them for its similarity to the Canterbury, New Zealand, mountain of that name, and in association with Mount Arrowsmith.
