Rumdoodle Peak
Rumdoodle Peak, elevation 875 m ASL, is a small but prominent mountain in the north-western part of the North Masson Range in Antarctica, near Mawson Station.
It was named, around 1960, after the previously fictitious peak featured in the book "The Ascent of Rum Doodle".
There is a small hut at the base (altitude 498m ASL), sleeping 5 people, and two permanently frozen lakes alongside, named Rumdoodle Lake and Lassitude Lake.

this book. A mountainous point in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand is known as Rumdoodle. The northeast ridge of Pikes Peak, in Colorado, has been unofficially nicknamed Rumdoodle Ridge by local climbers. There is a hidden couloir in the Vanoise National Park, also unofficially known as the Rum Doodle, and named by one of the first to discover and ski down it, Will Eaton. So-called as it took a long time to find the entrance, and skiing down it wasn't without complications.
