Mount Kostka (70°42′S 164°49′E) is a mountain rising to 1,210 metres (3,970 ft) on the west side of Zykov Glacier, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Saddle Peak, in the Anare Mountains of Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. It was surveyed by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1958 and named after Czechoslovakian aerologist O. Kostka, a member of a later Soviet expedition, 1959–61, who perished in a fire at Mirnyy Station on August 3, 1960.
