Mount Kowalczyk (77°56′S 163°47′E / 77.933°S 163.783°E / -77.933; 163.783) is a mountain, 1,690 metres (5,540 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of Goat Mountain at the head of Hobbs Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, under Robert Falcon Scott, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1964 for Chester Kowalczyk, Chief of the Photogrammetry Branch, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, who for many years had responsibility for the photogrammetric compilation of Antarctic charts.[1]
