Mount Ferguson (84°56′S 168°35′W / 84.933°S 168.583°W / -84.933; -168.583) is an irregular, mound-shaped mass, 1,190 metres (3,900 ft) high, which surmounts the south part of the Mayer Crags on the west side of Liv Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered and photographed by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–30), and named for Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Newport News, VA, which made repairs and alterations on Byrd Expedition ships.[1]
