Mount Berry is a 1650 m high mountain in Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 3 miles southeast of Baldwin Peak near the head of the Cayley Glacier .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE, 1956–1957), which the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey used for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain in 1960 after the American aviation pioneer Albert Berry (* 1878), who was the first person to parachute out of an airplane on March 1, 1912 .
