The Latady Mountains are a group of mountains in southeastern West Antarctic Palmerland that loom west of Gardner Inlet between Wetmore Glacier and Ketchum Glacier .
They were discovered and mapped during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) under the direction of the US polar explorer Finn Ronne , who named them after William Robertson Latady (1918-1979), who was responsible for the aerial photographs on this research trip.
