dbo:abstract
  • Mount Alf ist ein über 3200 m hoher Berg im westantarktischen Ellsworthland. Er ragt zwischen Mount Sharp und Mount Dalrymple im nördlichen Teil der Sentinel Range des Ellsworthgebirges auf. Kartiert wurde er von der sogenannten Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, einer Mannschaft vorwiegend zur Erkundung des Marie-Byrd-Lands zwischen 1957 und 1958. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte ihn nach dem US-amerikanischen Meteorologen Edward Alfred Alf (1930–2013), der zur Besatzung der Byrd-Station im Winter 1957 gehörte. (de)

The Antarctic feature, a mountain peak in West Antarctica, has been named in recognition of his contributions while a participant in the United States scientific program in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year. The proposal to name this feature in his behalf was made by Mr. George R. Toney and Dr. Charles Bentley who mapped this area in January 1958, and was approved by the National Academy of Sciences' Special Committee on IGY Geographic Names in the Antarctic and the U. S. Board on Geographic Names, Department of Interior. The mountain was mapped by the Charles R. Bentley-led Marie Byrd Land Traverse party, 1957–58. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Edward A. Alf, meteorologist, member of the 1957 wintering party at Byrd Station. (en)
  • Mount Alf är ett berg i Antarktis. Det ligger i Västantarktis. Chile gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Mount Alf är 3 200 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Mount Alf är kuperad åt nordväst, men åt sydost är den bergig. Mount Alf ligger uppe på en höjd som går i nord-sydlig riktning. Den högsta punkten i närheten är Mount Dalrymple, 3 600 meter över havet, 2,4 kilometer sydost om Mount Alf. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)
