Mount Griffiths (66°29′S 54°3′E / 66.483°S 54.05°E) is an elongated mountain with two prominent peaks of 1,650 and 1,680 m, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) northwest of Wilkinson Peaks in the Napier Mountains. Plotted by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and called Mefjell (middle mountain), a name used elsewhere in Antarctica. The mountain was visited in 1961 by an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) sledge party and named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for G.S. Griffiths, a member of the Australian Antarctic Exploration Committee of 1886.
