GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



C. A. Larsen, who named it Mount Jason after his 

 ship. Larsen was too far away to determine the 

 true nature of his newly discovered "mountain" 

 which Dr. Otto Nordenskjold, when viewing it in 

 1902, considered to be a nunatak in the ice shelf. 

 The island was surveyed by the FIDS in 1947 and 

 1953. The southernmost promontory on this is- 

 land is probably what Larsen considered to be a 

 separate island and which he named Veier Island. 

 Not adopted: Jason Land, Mount Jason.

 by Capt. C. A. Larsen in 1893-94 in exploring Cum-
