Zilch, United States Navy, Officer-in-Charge of the meteorological support unit during Operation Deep Freeze 1966.
715:. A rounded, ice-worn mountain on the southwest part of McDonald Heights. It stands on the east side of Hull Glacier, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Oehlenschlager Bluff.
