Mount Cecily (85°52′S 174°15′E / 85.867°S 174.250°E / -85.867; 174.250) is a prominent peak, 2,870 metres (9,420 ft) high, standing 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) northwest of Mount Raymond, in the Grosvenor Mountains. It was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, and named for Shackleton's daughter. The position agrees with that shown on Shackleton's map but the peak does not lie in the Dominion Range as he thought, being separated from that range by the Mill Glacier.[1]
