Mount Galla (75°56′S 125°52′W) is a snow-capped mountain, 2,520 metres (8,270 ft) high, which rises above the Usas Escarpment, 31 nautical miles (57 km) east of Mount Petras, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Edward J. Galla, U.S. Navy, who was medical doctor and leader of support personnel at Byrd Station, 1959.
