History

Shown as "Ears" by Captain Beechey (1831, map facing p. 328), Royal Navy (RN). The Ears were distinguished from Ear Mountain by Collier (1902, pl. 7), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Collier (1902, p. 9) also noted: The Eskimo know it by the name 'Enigarok,' which translated into English is said to mean ears, so that it is probable that this name could also have been applied to the two hills now referred to as Iviangik Mountain.
