Mount Huckle Elevation 8,365 ft (2,550 m) Location Location Alexander Island, Antarctica Range Douglas Range Coordinates 69°38′S 69°48′W / 69.633°S 69.8°WCoordinates: 69°38′S 69°48′W / 69.633°S 69.8°W Mount Huckle is a mainly ice-covered mountain, height 2,500 m, near the north end of Douglas Range in east Alexander Island, Antarctica. It rises 11 km (7 mi) south-southeast of Mount Spivey on the west side of Toynbee Glacier and is 14 km (9 mi) inland from George VI Sound.
The mountain was possibly first seen in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, but not recognized as part of Alexander Island. It was photographed from the air in 1936-37 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, and surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS).
The mountain was named after John Sydney Rodney Huckle, general assistant at Stonington Island, who aided in the FIDS survey of the west side of George VI Sound in 1949.
