geo.wikisort.org - MountainsHoopers Shoulder (77°32′S 166°53′E) is an independent cone at an elevation of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) on the western slopes of Mount Erebus on Ross Island, Antarctica. From McMurdo Sound it appears as a perfect pyramid of black rock, standing out as a splendid mark against the background of the ice and almost on a line from Cape Royds to the crater of Mount Erebus. The cone itself is about 100 metres (330 ft) high and is surrounded by a deep moat or ditch, caused by the sweeping action of strong winds. It was named by Frank Debenham on the second ascent of Mount Erebus for F.J. Hooper, a steward of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and a member of the ascent party.[1]

[de] Hoopers Shoulder
Hoopers Shoulder ist ein 1800 m hoher und eigenständiger Vulkankegel auf der antarktischen Ross-Insel. Er ragt an der Westflanke des Mount Erebus auf. Vom McMurdo-Sund aus betrachtet erscheint er als schwarze Felspyramide, die sich markant von der umgebenden vereisten Landschaft abhebt und sich auf einer Linie zwischen Kap Royds und dem Gipfelkrater des Mount Erebus befindet. Der Vulkankegel selbst ragt 100 m hoch auf und ist umgeben von einem tiefen Graben, der durch Winderosion entstanden ist.
