Mount Kennett (67°3′S 65°10′W / 67.050°S 65.167°W / -67.050; -65.167) is a distinctive snow and rock mountain, 1,360 metres (4,460 ft) high, between Quartermain Glacier and Fricker Glacier on the east side of Graham Land. [1] Features on this coast were photographed by several American expeditions: United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41; Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48; U.S. Navy photos, 1968. The mountain was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1947–48, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Peter Kennett, Geophysicist [2][3] with the British Antarctic Survey Larsen Ice Shelf party, 1960–64.[2][4]
