Mount Gevers is a 1480 m high and rocky mountain in the Queen Maud Mountains of the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Hays Mountains it rises on the north flank of the Cappellari Glacier , where it flows into the Amundsen Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after the South African geologist Traugott Wilhelm Gevers (1900-1991), who from 1964 to 1965 worked on the McMurdo station .
