ridges mark the east margin, but there is a gentle slope west from the massif's broad, plateaulike snow summit. This feature was originally named Mount Endeavour by the New Zealand. Northern Survey Party of CTAE in Oct. 1957, but on subsequent N.Z. and U.S. maps the name was identified as an 1800 m summit 3.5 miles NW of Mount Creak. Following additional mapping by USGS in 1999 and consultation between US-ACAN and NZGB, the name of the south block of Kirkwood Range was amended to Endeavour Massif to provide terminology better suited to the complex nature of the feature. For the sake of historical continuity, the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit NW of Mt Creak. Both features are named after HMNZS

Survey Party of CTAE in Oct. 1957, but in subsequent N.Z. and U.S. maps the name was identified as the 1810m summit described above. Following additional mapping by USGS in 1999 and consultation between US-ACAN and NZGB, the name Endeavour Massif was approved for the south block of the Kirkwood Range. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit near Ketchum Ridge. The summit and the massif are named after HMNZS
316: 361:. A rugged, mainly ice-covered massif, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long, located north of Pa Tio Tio Gap. The feature includes Mount Gauss and Mount Chetwynd and forms the north segment of Kirkwood Range. Named after William Robertson, Chief Executive Officer and Surveyor-General of the Department of Survey and Land Information, 1988-96; directed programs for Antarctic surveying, mapping and place naming; currently a member of SCAR. 256:. On a 1962 map, features of the range included, from north to south, Mount Gauss, Mount Chetwynd, Mount Endeavour, Mount Creak and Shoulder Mountain. More recently, the range has been divided into the Robertson Massif which contains Mount Gauss and Mount Chetwynd and lies to the north of the Pa Tio Tio Gap, and the Endeavour Massif, to the south of the gap, which includes Shoulder Mountain, Mount Belgrave and Mount Creak. 631:) as a huge flat-topped coastal mountain, 1,810 metres (5,940 ft) high, standing north of Fry Glacier and northwest of Mount Creak and Shoulder Mountain and forming the southern block of the Kirkwood Range. Surveyed in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58) and named by them for HMNZS Endeavour, supply ship for the New Zealand party. 761:. A prominent rock summit that rises over 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) about 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) west of Mount Creak. The feature overlooks the north side of Fry Glacier at the south extremity of Kirkwood Range. Named after Vince Belgrave, surveyor or leader in several surveys and geodetic projects for NZAP, 1984-1997. 1400: 1150: 542:. A summit that overlooks Pa Tio Tio Gap from the south. It rises over 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) at the north extremity of the Endeavour Massif. Named after Peter Cleary, who served with the Antarctic Division and Antarctica NZ from 1978; worked with NZ and UK programs as field assistant, dog handler, and in logistics support. 723:. The largest ridge that extends east from the south part of Endeavour Massif, Kirkwood Range. Named after Captain Gerald L. Ketchum, U.S. Navy (USN), Deputy Commander of Task Force 43 for Operation Deep Freeze I, II, and III; three seasons, 1955-56 through 1957-58, in command of ships in the Ross Sea Group. 495:

A more recent description from Antarctica New Zealand says it is a 1,810 metres (5,940 ft) summit, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the base of Ketchum Ridge in the south part of Endeavour Massif. The name Mount Endeavour was given to the south block of the Kirkwood Range by the N.Z. Northern
