Mount Dudley is a 1375 m high mountain on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises at the head of the Neny Fjord and is bounded on its north and east side by the Neny Glacier .
The western flank of the mountain was measured in 1936 by participants of the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) carried out a more detailed survey of the entire mountain in 1940. Participants of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) took aerial photographs and those on site . Finn Ronne , head of the expedition, named the mountain after Harold M. Dudley, executive director of the American Council of Commercial Laboratories in Washington, DC , which provided the expedition with various equipment and financial support.
