Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Cerro Duida, known as Yennamadi by the Ye'kuana,[1] is a very large tepui in Amazonas state, Venezuela.[2] It has an uneven and heavily inclined plateau, rising from highs of around Шаблон:Convert in the north and east to a maximum of Шаблон:Convert on its southwestern rim.[2] It has a summit area of Шаблон:Convert and an estimated slope area of Шаблон:Convert.[2] At its foot lies the small settlement of La Esmeralda, from which the mountain can be climbed.[3]
Cerro Duida shares a common base with the much smaller (but taller) Cerro Marahuaca, located off its northeastern flank, and together they form the Duida–Marahuaca Massif.[2] Both tepuis are entirely within the bounds of Duida-Marahuaca National Park. Sandwiched between them, a massive ridge known as Cerro Petaca rises to at least Шаблон:Convert. The much lower Cerro Huachamacari, derived from a separate base, lies to the northwest of this complex.[2]
Tyler-Duida expedition
George Henry Hamilton Tate led a major expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to Cerro Duida in 1928–1929.[3][4] Named the Tyler-Duida Expedition, it was the first to reach the mountain's summit plateau and the first to climb a tepui of the Venezuelan Amazon.[5] Mount Duida frog was first collected during the expedition and is still not known from anywhere else, although it was formally described only 40 years later.[6][7] Although primarily a zoological expedition, much plant material was collected.[4] These herbarium collections were studied extensively by Henry Gleason, who formally described many of the mountain's plant species in a series of papers published in 1931.[8][9][10][11] This was followed by a number of important botanical explorations of Cerro Duida, first by Julian A. Steyermark in 1944 and later by Bassett Maguire in 1949 and 1950.[4][5]
