Mount Lupa is an ice-covered and 1625 m (according to the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee around 1700 m ) high mountain with a flattened summit on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises between the Romulus and Martin glaciers east-southeast of the Black Thumb and 8 km east of Rymill Bay .

The first rough mapping of the mountain was made by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Between 1948 and 1949 it was measured by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . In connection with the Romulus and Remus glaciers, it is named after the she-wolf ( Latin: Mamma Lupa ) who, according to Roman tradition, raised the brothers Romulus and Remus .
