Mount Greenlee (84°51′S 177°0′W / 84.850°S 177.000°W / -84.850; -177.000) is a steep-sided, jagged mountain in Antarctica, 2,030 metres (6,660 ft) high; of metamorphic rock, it overlooks the west side of Shackleton Glacier just east of Mount Butters. It was named by F. Alton Wade, leader of the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1962–63), for David W. Greenlee, a member of the party.[1] It ranks as the 1,181st highest mountain in Antarctica.
