Mount Dater (67°8′S 64°49′W / 67.133°S 64.817°W) is a prominent flat-topped coastal mountain which is marked by distinctive rock spurs and steep cliffs, rising to 1,200 m south of Mill Inlet on Foyn Coast, Graham Land. The feature was roughly surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1947, and was photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947, and the U.S. Navy, 1963. Following surveys by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1963–64, and in association with the names of Antarctic historians grouped in this area, it was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Henry M. Dater (1909–74), U.S. Navy Historian; member of U.S. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1962-72 (Chairman, 1973–74); co-author (with E. Schulthess and G.J. Dufek) of Anarctica, Zurich, 1959.
