Mount Bridger is a mountain, 2,295 metres (7,530 ft) high, along the south side of Pearl Harbor Glacier, situated 5 nautical miles (9 km) north-northeast of Conard Peak in the Cartographers Range, Victory Mountains, in Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William D.
