Øydeholmen ( Norwegian for desert island ; in Australia Mount Kernot ) is a mainly icy mountain in the East Antarctic Kempland . It rises 6 km west of Rayner Peak south of Edward VIII Bay .
Norwegian cartographers, who also did the descriptive naming, mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the Australian engineer William Charles Kernot (1845-1909), Royal Society of Victoria and founding member of the Antarctic Committee of Australia in 1886.
