Mount Analogue is a prominent and 3170 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . In the Watson Escarpment , it is the highest point on a ridge that runs north from the Phleger Dome of the Stanford Plateau in the Horlick Mountains .
The mountain was explored between 1977 and 1978 as part of the United States Antarctic Research Program by a group of geologists from Arizona State University under the direction of Edmund Stump (* 1946). Stump named it after the mythical mountain from the novella Le Mont Analogue by the French writer René Daumal .
