Mount McKenzie is a pyramidal peak, 2,255 metres (7,400 ft) high, situated 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Saxton Ridge in the Amery Peaks of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was seen by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher, 1956–57, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for John A. McKenzie, a cook at Mawson Station in 1956.[1]
