Sentinel Range map.

Mount Anderson is a high mountain in the northern part of the Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica.^[3] Probuda Ridge is trending northeast of the peak, and Ellen Glacier and Embree Glacier drain its eastern and northeastern slopes respectively. It is part of the same massif as Mount Bentley and Mount Sisu.

The mountain was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, 1957–58, under C.R. Bentley, and named for Vernon H. Anderson, glaciologist at Byrd Station, 1957, a member of the party.^[2]
