Mount Holm-Hansen

Mount Holm-Hansen (77°36′S 162°11′E) is a prominent mountain rising to 1,920 metres (6,300 ft) between the lower David Valley and Bartley Glacier in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 after Osmund Holm-Hansen, a plant physiologist, who, working in the 1959–60 season, was one of the first American scientists to visit and conduct research in both Taylor Valley and Wright Valley. Holm-Hansen was a Research Biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from 1962, and his extensive field research from 1976 includes studies of microbial populations in McMurdo Sound, the Ross Sea, and other ocean areas south of the Antarctic Convergence.
