[[File:Mount Hope (Antarctica).jpg|300px|thumb|Mount Hope, the dome-shaped hill on the left, photographed by Shackleton's party in December 1908]] '''Mount Hope''' is a [[mountain]] in [[Antarctica]]. [[Ernest Shackleton]] named it in 1908, when he was on an [[expedition]] to reach the [[geographic south pole]]. The expedition was named [[Nimrod Expedition]]. Mount Hope has a height of 835m. Shackleton climbed the mountain to get a better view of the sourrounding area. On the top of the mountain, Shackleton had a better view of the [[Beardmore Glacier]]. Shackleton and his team reached the polar plateau, but did not reach the geographic south pole. Three years later, [[Robert Falcon Scott]] started an expedition which used the route Shackleton had taken. They reached the south pole, but fronze to death on their way back. {{geo-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hope}} [[Category:Mountains of Antarctica]]
