Mount Metschel (78°17′S 159°0′E) is a prominent ice-free mountain in Antarctica, 1,845 metres (6,050 ft) high, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Angino Buttress and the Skelton Icefalls. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and Navy air photos, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Commander John J. Metschel, U.S. Navy, commander of the icebreaker USS Staten Island in the Antarctic and the Arctic in 1962 and 1963. Metschel was killed in the Arctic, October 15, 1963, while engaged in ice reconnaissance in a helicopter from his ship.
