The original ‘Butter Mountain’ was a natural sedimentary compound, first discovered in the Antarctic in 1901. The first explorers of the continent used blocks and rocks made of butter to build their huts. It was only when samples were taken back to Europe that it’s propensity to melt at low temperatures was discovered. Fortunately, it was also discovered to be tasty.

The Butter Mountain used to be 47,967 feet tall. However, due to extensive mining, the summit is now below sea-level, explaining why most butter these days is salted.
