Mount Blowaway is a largely ice-free and 1320 m high mountain made of gneiss rock in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Wilson Hills it rises 20 km west-northwest of Governor Mountain .
Participants in the 1963 to 1964 campaign as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition named the mountain because three members of a team had to give up their surveying station there due to a blizzard .
