'''[[The Billboard]]''' is a massive granite monolith in the [[Sarnoff Mountains]] of the [[Ford Ranges]] of [[Westarctica]] standing just west of Mount Rea between [[Arthur Glacier]] and [[Boyd Glacier]]. It was discovered in November 1934 by a Second Byrd [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Expedition (1933–35) sledge party under [[Paul A. Siple]], and is so named because of its form and appearance with vertical faces rising above the continental [[ice]].
The '''[[Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station]]''' is a United States scientific research station at the [[South Pole]], the southernmost place on the Earth. The station is located on the high plateau of [[Antarctica]] at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,301 feet) above sea level and is administered by the Division of Polar Programs within the National Science Foundation under the United States Antarctic Program (USAP).


The summit was first visited by Bruce Luyendyk and Kuno Lecha by helicopter in January 1993 during expedition GANOVEX VII. In 1998-99, Christine Siddoway led a geological party from Colorado College that reached the summit by climbing a west route. The face of The Billboard has not yet been climbed.
