Mount Grimminger (73°18′S 62°18′W / 73.3°S 62.3°W) is a cone-shaped, mostly ice-covered mountain, 1,680 m, standing on the north side of Meinardus Glacier, close east of its juncture with Haines Glacier, on the east coast of Palmer Land. Discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for George Grimminger, American meteorologist and joint author of the meteorological reports of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30, and the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, and a member of the latter expedition.
