	Gothic National Monument is protected under category III (national monument or feature) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. These protections mean that conservation efforts are primarily aimed at the preservation of the geologic and natural landscape. Although not the primary concern, efforts are also made to protect biodiversity found within its boundaries.		Gothic National Monument's roughly 3,403,000 acres (13,925 square kilometers) is protected under category III (national monument or feature) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. These protections mean that conservation efforts are primarily aimed at the preservation of the geologic and natural landscape. Although not the primary concern, efforts are also made to protect biodiversity found within its boundaries.

The feature stands at the south side of Albanus Glacier at the point where the latter joins Scott Glacier. Discovered by Byrd on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition flight to the South Pole in November 1929. The mountain was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn. Named by Byrd for Darryl F. Zanuck, official of Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures, who assisted the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, in assembling motion-picture records, and later supplied the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, with motion-picture projectors.

	* '''Zanuck East Peak''' (85°57′S 150°53′W) is the easternmost of the three high peaks that rise from Mount Zanuck massif. The peak was discovered and mapped by the geological party of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, led by Quin Blackburn. The name was applied in association with Mount Zanuck by members of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) who climbed the peak in the 1969-70 season.
