Mount Ethelwulf (70°2′S 69°34′W / 70.033°S 69.567°W) is a mainly ice-covered mountain, 2,590 m, standing between Mounts Egbert and Ethelred at the head of Tumble Glacier, in the Douglas Range of Alexander Island. Probably first observed by Lincoln Ellsworth, who photographed the east side of the Douglas Range from the air on November 23, 1935. Its east face was roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named for Ethelwulf, Saxon king of England, 839-858. The west face of the mountain was mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960.
