Mount Stanley (Antarctica)

Mount Stanley (coord|84|9|S|165|29|E|) is a peak, 3,220 m, standing northeast of the head of Wyckoff Glacier near the western limits of Grindley Plateau, Queen Alexandra Range, Antarctica.

Named by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) for the eldest brother of Dr. E.S. Marshall, a member of the expedition. This identification is the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961-62) interpretation of the original positioning by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09).
