Mount Genecand is a 1200 m high mountain on the Graham Coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises up between the mouths of the Lawrie Glacier and the Weir Glacier in the Barilari Bay .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it using aerial photographs from Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1955 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the Swiss mountaineer Félix-Valentin Genecand (1874–1957), known as “Tecouni”, who around 1910 had developed the Tricouni mount for mountaineering boots .
