Mount Cresswell

Mount Cresswell is a domed, elongated mountain with a small conical peak at the west end, standing 25 nautical miles (46 km) north-northeast of Mount Dummett in the southern Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos taken in 1956 and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for George Robert Cresswell, an auroral physicist at Mawson Station in 1960.[1]
