Mount Irvine (77°38′S 162°16′E / 77.633°S 162.267°E / -77.633; 162.267) is a peak rising to 2,067 metres (6,781 ft) between Vogler Peak and Hoehn Peak on Roa Ridge, the dividing ridge at the heads of Bartley Glacier and Matterhorn Glacier in Asgard Range, Victoria Land. The mountain was named by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) (1998) after Sir Robin Irvine (1929–96), formerly Vice Chancellor of the University of Otago, Chairman of the Ross Dependency Research Committee and of the Antarctic New Zealand Board.[1]
