Description

Wikipedia

Mount Moulton is a 40-kilometre-long (25 mi) complex of ice-covered shield volcanoes, standing 25 kilometres (16 mi) east of Mount Berlin in the Flood Range, Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It is named for Richard S. Moulton, chief dog driver at West Base. The volcano is of Pliocene age and is presently inactive. The Prahl Crags are located on the southern slopes of Mount Moulton and are part of a caldera. There, an exposed area of blue ice can be found; this ice contains tephra layers from mainly neighbouring Mount Berlin volcano and some of the ice is almost half a million years old.
