Mount Markham is a majestic twin-peaked massif, 4,350 and 4,280 m, surmounting the north end of Antarctica's Markham Plateau. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04), it is named for Sir Clements Markham, who, as President of the Royal Geographical Society, planned the expedition and chose Robert Falcon Scott as its leader.
