Mount Bridgman

Mount Bridgman (66°50′S 67°23′W) is a prominent mountain which surmounts the central part of Liard Island in Hanusse Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was mapped from photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Percy W. Bridgman, an American physicist who discovered the high-pressure forms of ice.
