Mount Liard (80°58′S 158°51′E / 80.967°S 158.850°E / -80.967; 158.850) is a peak 6 nautical miles (11 km) east of Mount Durnford in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica. It rises to 1,770 metres (5,800 ft) on the ridge south of Cooper Snowfield. The peak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Theodore J. Liard, Jr. (1918–2002), a geographer with the Department of Interior and the Department of Defense in toponymic research for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, 1949–80. Liard was Chief of the Geographic Names Division at the Defense Mapping Agency, 1969–80.[1]
