geo.wikisort.org - MontagneIl Monte Dewar è una montagna alta circa 1.600 m situata a sudovest dell'Aronson Corner, nella Scarpata dei Pionieri della Catena di Shackleton, nella Terra di Coats in Antartide.
Fu fotografato dagli aerei della U.S. Navy nel 1967 e ispezionato successivamente nel 1968-71 dalla British Antarctic Survey. Ricevette questa denominazione nel 1971 dal Comitato britannico per i toponimi antartici in associazione con il gruppo degli esploratori polari presenti nella zona, in onore del chimico e fisico scozzese James Dewar, che aveva inventato la bottiglia termica comunemente chiamata "thermos".[1]

It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey from 1968 to 1971. In association with the names of pioneers of polar life and travel grouped in this area, it was named in 1971 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist who invented the thermos flask about 1892.[1]
