Mount Joyce (75°36′S 160°49′E / 75.600°S 160.817°E) is a prominent, dome-shaped mountain, 1,830 metres (6,000 ft) high, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) northwest of Mount Howard in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica.[2]
Exploration and name
[edit]Mount Joyce was first mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, which named it for Ernest Joyce who was in charge of general stores, dogs, sledges, and zoological collections with the expedition and who had earlier been with the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04.

Nearby features include Burrage Dome to the northeast, Mount Mallis, Mount Howard, Mount Billing and Mount Bowen to the southeast, and Crash Nunatak and Ford Peak to the southwest.[1]
Geology
[edit]Mount Joyce, along with nearby nunataks, such as the Trio Nunataks, represents the remnants of a tableland of the Jurassic Ferrar Group, which consists of Kirkpatrick lavas and Ferrar dolerite sills, alternating with rafts of sandstone of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Beacon Supergroup.

Named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1962-63, because the nunatak lies close to the scene of the United States Navy R4D plane crash of November 25, 1962.[9]
Ford Peak
[edit]75°43′S 160°27′E / 75.717°S 160.450°E. A rock peak, 1,830 metres (6,000 ft) high, standing 6.5 nautical miles (12.0 km; 7.5 mi) west of Mount Billing.
