Mount Clarke is a mountain in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . It consists of two peaks about 100 m apart . From the western of the two peaks a mostly snow-covered mountain ridge leads over a length of about 500 m in a westerly direction. Another extends over a length of around 1000 m in a northerly direction.
The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it in 1983 after the Australian cartographer Andrew Clarke, who was involved in two research campaigns into the Enderbyland and who had set up a surveying station on this mountain in January 1982.
