Mount Lockhart

Mount Lockhart (76°28′S 145°6′W) is a prominent northerly projection from the main massif of the Fosdick Mountains 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Mount Avers, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on a flight on December 5, 1929, and was named for Ernest Earl Lockhart, a physiologist at West Base of the United States Antarctic Service Expedition and a member of the biological party which visited this area in 1940.[1]
