Mount Henderson (White Island)
White Island () is an island in the Ross Archipelago of Antarctica. It is long, protruding through the Ross Ice Shelf immediately east of Black Island. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and so named by them because of the mantle of snow that covers it. Protected Area Some 142 km2 of shelf ice adjoining the north-west coast of the island has been designated an Antarctic Specially Protected Area ( ASPA 137) because it supports an isolated, small breeding population of Weddell seals. Geology White Island consists of two Pleistocene shield volcanoes overlain by volcanic cones. The last known eruption occurred 0.17 million years ago. Features Features include, from south to north, Mount Nesos, Mount Henderson, Isolation Point, Mount Nipha, Mount Hayward, Mount Heine, and Cape Spencer-Smith. Mount Nesos . The remnants of a volcanic core, over high, projecting through the ice near the southwest end of White Island. Named by the Ne ...

Mount Henderson (Holme Bay)
Mount Henderson () is a mountain in the Framnes Mountains of Mac. Robertson Land in the Antarctic. It is southeast of Holme Bay and northeast of the Masson Range. Physical Mount Henderson is a massive mountain rising through the ice sheet southeast of Holme Bay and a like distance northeast of the north end of the Masson Range. The mountain is about south-southeast of Mawson Station. The rocky massif covers about . Its ridges rise to about above sea level. There are large areas of moraine and moraine scree slopes, and large melt lakes between the ridges. Glacial erratic boulders of light-colored granitic gneiss cover the lower slopes of the mountain, but are not found more than about above the present-day ice surface. Above this level the darker charnockite bedrock is exposed. Probably the boulders were transported and deposited by ice during the last glacial maximum, while the exposed bedrock would have remained above the ice. Botany Thirteen species of lichen and one ...

Mount Henderson (Washington)
Mount Henderson is a mountain summit located in the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state, United States. It is situated on the shared boundary of Olympic National Park with Mount Skokomish Wilderness. Its nearest higher neighbor is Mount Skokomish, to the east-northeast. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Hamma Hamma River and Skokomish River. The mountain's toponym honors Louis Forniquet Henderson (1853-1942), a pioneering botanist and mountaineer who accompanied Lieutenant O'Neil on his 1890 expedition into the Olympic Mountains.Olympic Mountains: A Climbing Guide, Olympic Mountain Rescue, Fourth Edition, 2006, The Mountaineers Books, page 60. Climate Mount Henderson is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop th ...
