Mount Courtauld is a rounded, mainly icy and 2105 m high mountain near the Rymill coast in the west of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 15 km east of George VI Sound from a mountain ridge on the north side of the mouth of the Naess Glacier .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , carried out a first survey in 1936. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named him in 1954 after the British Arctic explorer Augustine Courtauld (1904-1959), who helped with the preparations for the British Graham Land Expedition.
