Mount Lyttleton is an approximately 1500 m high, striking and almost completely snow-covered mountain on the Loubet coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises near the head end of the Cardell Glacier .
Aerial photographs were taken during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the New Zealand entrepreneur Westcote R. Lyttleton (1877-1956), who in 1912 was the first to use laminated safety glass for the manufacture of snow goggles .
