Mount Gorecki

Mount Gorecki is a mountain in Antarctica. It is 1,110 metres (3,640 ft) high and lies at the southeastern extremity of the Schmidt Hills in the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains. It was discovered and photographed on January 13, 1956 on a U.S. Navy transcontinental non-stop plane flight from McMurdo Sound to the Weddell Sea and back, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for aviation electronics technician Francis Gorecki, the radioman of the P2V-2N Neptune aircraft making the flight.
