Mount Pitman

Mount Pitman is a mountain in Antarctica. It features two mainly ice-covered, dome-shaped summits, the higher and northern rising to 1,830 m, standing 9 nautical miles inland from George VI Sound, between Riley and Chapman Glaciers on the west coast of Palmer Land. First surveyed in 1936 by the British [Graham Land Expedition] under Rymill. Named by the United [Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee] in 1954 for E.L. Pitman, an airplane carpenter of Byfleet, Surrey, who made the sledges used by the BGLE, 1934–37, introducing important new elements into the design of the Nansen-type sledge.
