Mount Axtell (81°18′S 85°6′W / 81.300°S 85.100°W / -81.300; -85.100) is a low but distinctive rock peak 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast of Mount Tidd in the Pirrit Hills, Antarctica. It was positioned by the U.S. Ellsworth–Byrd Traverse Party, December 7, 1958, and named for William R. Axtell, Jr., U.S. Navy, cook at Ellsworth Station in 1958 who volunteered to accompany the traverse party.
