Mount Korsch (82°52′S 160°56′E / 82.867°S 160.933°E) is a pyramidal peak, rising to about 4,000 m on the northwest margin of Markham Plateau, Queen Elizabeth Range, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Mount Markham. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1988 after geologist Russell J. Korsch who, with E. Stump and D. Egerton, climbed and geologically mapped this peak on December 3, 1985, as a member of a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) field party. Korsch was a member of USARP field parties, 1968–69 and 1985–86; New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) field parties, 1982–83 and 1984-85.
