Mount Sisu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Sisu is a mountain in the Antarctic. Finnish mountaineer Veikka Gustafsson and Patrick Degerman were the first people to ascend it, in 1997. It was named after the Finnish concept of sisu, meaning a sense of steadfast, rugged perseverance.

Mount Sisu, reaching a height of 4300 meters over sea level, is located in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, also the site of the highest peak in the Antarctic, the Vinson Massif. The nearest other peaks to Mount Sisu are Mount Anderson and Mount Bentley.[1]
