Mount Dean is a 1620 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises 3 km northeast of Mount Belecz at the northeast end of the Quarles Range .
He was probably seen first by the group of five around the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen during his South Pole expedition (1910–1912). The first mapping was carried out on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the American Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Jesse D. Dean, a meteorologist at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the Antarctic winter of 1962.
