Mount Feola (77°30′S 162°37′E / 77.500°S 162.617°E / -77.500; 162.617) is a mountain rising to 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) at the head of Denton Glacier in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The feature is 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) west-southwest of Mount Newall. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (1997) for Samuel D. Feola, a helicopter pilot with U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6, principally flying in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, 1976 and 1977. From 1990 to the time of naming he was Director Logistics, Antarctic Support Associates, responsible for contractor planning, management, and operations of logistic and operational support requirements for the National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program.[1]
