George Murray Levick

Part of the Northern Party, Levick spent the austral summer of 1911–1912 at Cape Adare in the midst of an Adélie Penguin rookery.

Prevented by pack ice from embarking on the Terra Nova in February 1912, Levick and the other five members of the party (Victor Campbell, Raymond Priestley, George Abbott, Harry Dickason, and Frank Browning) were forced to overwinter on Inexpressible Island in a cramped ice cave.

Mount Levick

It was first charted by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and named for George Murray Levick, surgeon with the expedition and a member of the Northern Party.
