Mount Bagshawe (71°25′S 67°14′W) is a southernmost and highest of the Batterbee Mountains, 2,200 m, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) inland from George VI Sound on the west coast of Palmer Land. The mountain was first seen and photographed from the air on November 23, 1935 by Lincoln Ellsworth, and was mapped from these photographs by W.L.G. Joerg. It was surveyed in 1936 by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 after Sir Arthur W.G. Bagshawe (1871–1950), British authority on tropical medicine, who raised a special fund to defray the expenses of biological equipment for BGLE, 1934-37.
