Mount Carroll is a 650 m high and horseshoe-shaped mountain in the north of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula, it rises south of Hope Bay .
Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld discovered and mapped it. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey FIDS carried out surveys between 1945 and 1947 and named it. It is named after the Canadian seaman Tom Carroll (1868–1961), who was involved in the establishment of the FIDS base in Hope Bay in February 1945. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee corrected the originally typographically incorrect naming as Mount Carrell in 1988.
