Mount Siple

WHAT DOES MOUNT SIPLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mount Siple

Mount Siple is a potentially active Antarctic shield volcano, rising to 3,110 metres and dominating the northwest part of Siple Island, which is separated from the Bakutis Coast, Marie Byrd Land, by the Getz Ice Shelf. Its youthful appearance strongly suggests that it last erupted in the Holocene. It is capped by a 4-by-5-kilometre summit caldera, and tuff cones lie on the lower flanks. Its massive volume of 1,800 cubic kilometres is comparable to that of Mount Erebus. Mount Siple is named after Paul A. Siple, a US Antarctic explorer and geographer who took part in six Antarctic expeditions, including the two Byrd expeditions of 1928-30 and 1933-35. He was in command of the West Base of the US Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and was navigator on all major exploratory flights from the base, including the flight on which Mount Siple was discovered. He served as US Army Senior Representative on Operation Highjump, 1946–47; as Director of Scientific Projects in the planning stages for the US-IGY; and as the inaugural scientific leader at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station from 1956-57.
