Mount Eissinger

Mount Eissinger (-70.03333°N, -67.73333°W) is a large ridge-like mountain at the north side of Riley Glacier on the west side of Palmer Land. The feature has a snow-topped upper surface, bare rock cliffs along the north side, and an impressive rectangular rock buttress rising in an unbroken, near-vertical sweep from the glacier to 500 m at the west end. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Karlheinz Eissinger, a USGS topographic engineer with the Ellsworth Land Survey party, 1968–69.
