From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Bridgman (66°50′S 67°23′W / 66.833°S 67.383°W / -66.833; -67.383) is a prominent mountain which surmounts the central part of Liard Island in Hanusse Bay, which is a broad V-Shaped bay off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.[1] 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.
