Mount Provender
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Provender () is a conspicuous rock mountain, 900 m, marking the northwest extremity of the Shackleton Range. First mapped in 1957 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition and so named because members of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition established a depot of food and fuel and an airplane camp on the south side of the mountain in 1957 to support sledging parties working in the Shackleton Range.
