The M'Clintock Bastion is an approximately 1400 m (according to British data 1300 m ) high mountain in the East Antarctic Coatsland . It looms west of Mount Kelsey in the Pioneers Escarpment in the Shackleton Range .

The first aerial photographs were taken in 1967 by the United States Navy . The British Antarctic Survey carried out surveys between 1968 and 1971. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain in 1972 after the British Arctic explorer Francis Leopold McClintock (1819-1907), who was instrumental in the search for the missing Franklin expedition and was the first European to adapt Eskimo techniques for overland travel.
