In 2001, NOVA sponsored a group including author Jon Krakauer to ascend its East Face, and that expedition logged its height at about 16,000 feet. Located in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, the highest point at its southern end is Mount Craddock. The second-shortest and by far the southernmost of the Seven Summits, this is, for 10 points, which tallest mountain in Antarctica?
