The Cloudmaker

The Cloudmaker (-84.28333°N, 169.41667°W) is a massive mountain, 2,680 m high, standing at the west side of Beardmore Glacier, just south of Hewson Glacier in the Queen Alexandra Range, Antarctica. It is easily identifiable by its high, ice-free slope facing Beardmore Glacier.

Exploration and name
The Cloudmaker was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, and so named because of a cloud which usually appeared near the summit, providing a useful landmark during their journey up the Beardmore Glacier.

Location
The Cloudmaker lies on the west margin of Beardmore Glacier, to the north of Cherry Icefall and south of Hewson Glacier. It is northeast of Mount Dickerson and southeast of Grindley Plateau. Morrison Hills extend along the northern side of Hewson Glacier, and Bell Bluff is further north.
