Mount Pond (62°57′S 60°33′W / 62.95°S 60.55°W) is a peak, 550 m, standing 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) east-southeast of Pendulum Cove, on Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands. The name appears on a 1829 chart based upon survey work by the British expedition under Foster, 1828-31. Probably named for John Pond, noted English astronomer and director of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich at that time.
