The Cloudmaker (84°17′S 169°25′E) is a massive mountain, 2,680 metres (8,800 ft) high, standing at the west side of Beardmore Glacier, just south of Hewson Glacier. Easily identified by its high, ice-free slope facing Beardmore Glacier, it was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, and so named because of a cloud which usually appeared near the summit, providing a useful landmark during their journey up the Beardmore Glacier.
