I want to visit my mountain!

[karohemd]

I knew that a namesake of mine was a member of Amundsen's South Pole expedition but what I didn't know was that a mountain was named after him. Unfortunately, Beck Peak is on the other side of Antarctica and I won't be anywhere near it. So close, though! (relatively speaking)

It's a good claim to fame though.

I found it just now while looking for info on that man.
I knew he was on Amundsen's crew because there's a plaque of him in the polar expedition museum my parenst visited when they were in Norway the third time round (they took a photo of it so I could see it).

That's a very bad pun, either intentional or not!
