Mount Endeavor

Mount Endeavor is a 1,810  m high mountain in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises 1.5 km north of the base of the Ketchum Ridge in the southern part of the Endeavor Massif in the Kirkwood Range of the Prince Albert Mountains .

The New Zealand group of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) named the object known today as the Endeavor Massif as Mount Endeavor in October 1957 . After measurements by the United States Geological Survey in 1999 and consultations between the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names and the New Zealand Geographic Board , a separate naming of the massif and the mountain near the Ketchum Ridge prevailed. Both the mountain and the massif are after the HMNZS Endeavor (formerly RRS John Biscoe ), the supply ship of the New Zealand group on the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
