Mount Hope (Eternity Range)
Mount Hope is a massive mountain rising to , forming the central and highest peak of the Eternity Range in northern Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was first seen from the air and named Mount Hope by Lincoln Ellsworth during his flights of November 21 and 23, 1935. This mountain is one of three major mountains in Ellsworth's Eternity Range to which he gave the names Faith, Hope, and Charity.〔
The November of the following year the mountain was surveyed and given the name "Mount Wakefield" by J.R. Rymill of the British Graham Land Expedition. The feature was subsequently photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service in September 1940, and by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in December 1947. A careful study of the reports, maps, and photographs of these expeditions, as well as an additional survey of the area by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960, has led to the conclusion that Ellsworth's Mount Hope and Rymill's Mount Wakefield are synonymous. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Hope has been retained for this mountain (the name Wakefield has been transferred to Wakefield Highland located close northwestward).〔
