Mount Takahe
Mount Takahe is a shield volcano in Antarctica. It's height is 3,460 metres (11,350 ft) above sea level.[1] The volcano is mostly covered by the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. People first visited the mountain in 1957.[2] Due to its remote location, it has not been visited often. It has never been climbed, and no one has even tried to climb it.[3] It is named after the takahē, a bird which lives in New Zealand.
