Mount Quackenbush (80°21′S 156°58′E / 80.350°S 156.967°E / -80.350; 156.967) is a flat-topped mountain in Antarctica, 2,435 m, which forms a projecting angle along the steep cliffs bordering the north side of Byrd Glacier, just west of Peckham Glacier. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Captain Robert S. Quackenbush, Jr., chief of staff to Admiral Cruzen (Central Group of Task Force 68) in U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, led by Admiral Byrd.
