Mount Cadbury (71°21′S 66°38′W / 71.35°S 66.633°W) is the easternmost of the Batterbee Mountains, 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) high, standing east-southeast of Mount Ness and 18 miles (29 km) inland from George VI Sound on the west coast of Palmer Land. The coast in this vicinity was first seen and photographed from the air on November 23, 1935 by Lincoln Ellsworth, but this mountain seems to have been obscured from Ellsworth's line of sight by clouds or intervening summits. Mount Cadbury was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954 for Mrs. Henry Tyler Cadbury, who raised a special fund to defray the cost of refitting the Penola, the ship of the BGLE, at South Georgia in 1936.
