La Gestazione Salvaggia

Having discovered these magnificent mountains, we were faced with the daunting task of naming them all. Faced with a shortage of eminent Australians, we employed the Swiss naming convention, which is a single word name based on the appearance of the peak and your feelings upon first sight of it.

Lexie recorded all the names in her Holly Hobby scrapbook, carefully marking the locations and approximate heights to assist future geological surveys of the area. Below are but a few of them.

Can you match the mountain name to its photo?

Named by Chester, who has a solid grasp of Germanic languages:
The Schnitzelskoffer Massif, the bulkiest range in the region
The Mighty Schnauzersnuzer, or 'Sleeping Sausage Dog'

Named by Leo and Archie:
Mount Stupid
