Mount Overlook

Mount Overlook (71°28′S 163°26′E / 71.467°S 163.433°E / -71.467; 163.433Coordinates: 71°28′S 163°26′E / 71.467°S 163.433°E / -71.467; 163.433) is a mostly snow-covered mountain rising to about 2,010 m and overlooking the middle portion of Sledgers Glacier from the north, in the Bowers Mountains. The feature was so named by M.G. Laird, leader of a New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) geological party to the area, 1981–82, because the party obtained an excellent view from the summit.
