Mount Marsden (67°52′S 66°3′E / 67.867°S 66.05°E) is a bare rock mountain (600 m) lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Mount Rivett in the Gustav Bull Mountains of Mac. Robertson Land. On February 13, 1931, the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) (1929–31) under Douglas Mawson made a landing on nearby Scullin Monolith. They named this mountain for Ernest Marsden, Director of the Dept. of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand.
