Mount Flower is a mountain with two peaks, the higher of which is 1465 m on the Rymill coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises about 10.5 km inland from Carse Point and George VI Sound .
The mountain lies on the edge of an area that the American polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth photographed during an overflight on November 23, 1935. Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill made a first survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain in 1954 after Geoffrey Chambers Flower (1896-1975), surveying instructor for the Royal Geographical Society from 1933 to 1940, who helped Rymill organize the expedition and prepare the planned surveys.
