Mount Lugering is a 2000 m high mountain on the west side of the Lanterman Range in the Bowers Mountains . It marks the northern flank of the confluence of the Hunter Glacier into the Rennick Glacier .
The area was mapped through the United States Geological Survey and aerial photography from the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain in 1970 after the supply officer Donald Russell Lugering (* 1935) of the US Navy, who had been part of the occupation of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the winter of 1965.
