Mount Moore
Mount Moore is an isolated quartzitic mountain mass that rises 305 m above the snow surface of western Antarctica. With only Mount Woollard nearby, 8 nautical miles to the south, it stands about 150 nautical miles west of the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. It was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party on 4 February 1958 and is named after Lieutenant John P. Moore, U.S. Navy Reserve, a helicopter pilot aboard the USS Atka, who died in a helicopter crash near Kainan Bay in January 1955.
