It rises at the north side of El-Sayed Glacier, 8 nautical miles (15 km) southwest of Mount Shirley, in Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–65, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Michael G.
