The mountain is entirely snow covered on the southwest side but has nearly vertical exposed-rock cliffs on the northeast side. It was discovered and photographed by Admiral Byrd on the South Pole Flight of November 1929. It was named by Byrd for Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, a contributor to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1928-30 and 1933-35.
Famous quotes containing the word mount:
“As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. The universe is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
