Mount Edixon (71°49′S 163°35′E / 71.817°S 163.583°E) is a mountain, 2,080 metres (6,820 ft) high, located 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of Bowers Peak in the Lanterman Range, Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was so named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64, for Lieutenant Commander James R. Edixon, a pilot with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, who, with considerable willingness and skill, was responsible for the expedition's air support. The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1]
