Mount Keohane

Mount Keohane (77°35′S 163°0′E) is a peak immediately northwest of Lake Fryxell, rising to 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) between Canada Glacier and Huey Gully on the north side of Taylor Valley, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named in 1997 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Petty Officer Patrick Keohane, Royal Navy, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13. Keohane was a member of Robert F. Scott's South Pole journey support party that reached the Upper Glacier Depot on Beardmore Glacier (85°7′S 163°4′E) before returning to headquarters on Cape Evans.[1]
