The Kreiling Mesa is a striking partially icy mesa in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Miller Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, it rises on the south side of the mouth of the Argosy Glacier in the Marsh Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named Table Mountain in 1966 after Lee William Kreiling (* 1937), engineer of the Numbered Air Forces at McMurdo Station in the Antarctic winter of 1961, who participated in the exploratory marches of the United States Antarctic Research Program through Ellsworthland (1961– 1962) and on Roosevelt Island (1962–1963) was involved.
