Mount Moffat is a mountain, 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) high, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Mount Ege in the Neptune Range, Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1956 to 1966, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert J. Moffat, a construction electrician at Ellsworth Station in the winter of 1958.[1]
