Mount Stinear

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Stinear (73°4′S, 66°24′E) is a prominent rock peak on a large massif rising to 1,950 m, standing just east of Mount Rymill at the junction of Fisher Glacier and Lambert Glacier in the Prince Charles Mountains in Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by the RAAF Antarctic Flight in 1956, and first visited in October 1957 by an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) party led by Bruce H. Stinear, geologist at Mawson Station, for whom it is named.
