Mount Beney is the largest of the La Grange Nunataks, rising to 1,000 m in the north part of Shackleton Range. It was roughly mapped by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1957, and it was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) between 1968-71. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Sgt. Ivor C. Beney, RE, a member of the Royal Society IGY Expedition at Shackleton station in 1957 who assisted with preparations for the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition between 1955-58.
