This is Shackleton Falls, on South Georgia. It's named for Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer. He came over this mountain to the whaling station of Strömness and was able to rescue his entire crew after they had to abandon their ship when it was trapped in (and ultimately destroyed by) pack ice.

I read the account of the adventure. It's amazing how they were able to survive in such a harsh environment for such a long time. - Margy
