Faraway, Mount
Mount Faraway is a prominent, snow-covered mountain, 1,175 metres high, marking the southern extremity of the Theron Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1956, and so named because during days of sledging toward this mountain they never seemed to be any nearer to it.| Tap on a place to explore it |
