Mount Goodale is an Antarctic mountain with a double peak of 2420 m and 2570 m height in the Queen Maud Mountains . It rises about 10 km southeast of Mount Thorne in the Hays Mountains .
He was discovered in December 1929 by the team around the geologist Laurence McKinley Gould (1896-1995) during the first Antarctic expedition (1928-1930) of the American polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd . Byrd named the mountain after Edward Evans Goodale (1903-1989), a participant in the expedition. From 1959 to 1968 Goodale was a representative for the United States Antarctic Research Program in Christchurch , New Zealand , and during this time organized the transport of thousands of scientists to Antarctica and back.
