Mount Elliot (70°53′S 166°32′E) is a mountain 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) high rising between Kirkby Glacier and O'Hara Glacier, about 5 nautical miles (10 km) south of Yule Bay, in the Anare Mountains of Victoria Land. A mountain in this approximate position was sighted by Captain James C. Ross of the Royal Navy in February 1841, who named it for Rear Admiral George Elliot, Commander-in-Chief in the Cape of Good Hope Station.
