Mount Cadbury is a 1,800 m high mountain in Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is the easternmost mountain of the Batterbee Mountains and rises east-southeast of Mount Ness and 29 km east of the Rymill Coast on George VI Sound .
The US polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth was awarded the first sighting of this stretch of coast during an overflight on November 23, 1935. However, the view of the mountain seems to have been blocked by clouds or the surrounding mountains. A survey was carried out in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1954 after the British entrepreneur Henry Tylor Cadbury (1882-1952), who set up a foundation to finance the 1936 repair of the Penola , one of the two ships of the British Graham Land Expedition, carried out in South Georgia .
