The mountain was discovered and named by [[Richard E. Byrd]] on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition flight of December 5, 1929. The unusual name "Marujupu" combines the letters from the names of three daughters and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sulzberger. The daughters are Marian, Ruth and Judy; Punch is the nickname of son Arthur. The Sulzbergers were patrons of the expedition, and several features in [[Westarctica]] are named in honor of their family. | The mountain was discovered and named by [[Richard E.
