Mount Dort (85°54′S 158°53′W) is a conspicuous ice-free mountain, 2,250 metres (7,380 ft) high, projecting into the east side of Amundsen Glacier just south of the mouth of Cappellari Glacier. It was discovered and first mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Wakefield Dort, Jr., a geologist at McMurdo Station, summer 1965–66, and exchange scientist at the Japanese Showa Station, winter 1967.
