Mount Gudmundson (79°13′S 157°51′E) is a mainly ice-free mountain, 2,040 metres (6,700 ft) high, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of Fault Bluff in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1959–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Julian P. Gudmundson, a U.S. Navy explosive expert who wintered at Little America V in 1957. He blasted the foundation for the nuclear power plant at McMurdo Station during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze, 1961.
