Mount Lama is a 800 m high mountain of bare rock in the Denton Hills on the Scott Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises from the ridge north of the Miers glacier and forms the south face of the Shangri-la valley .
Participants in a campaign carried out from 1960 to 1962 as part of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions named it after the lama , a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, based on the name of the valley .
