Mount St. Louis is a 1280 m high and mainly icy mountain on the Loubet coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Arrowsmith Peninsula , it forms a prominent landmark immediately east of the strait The Gullet .
Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot first sighted him in 1909 and made a rough map. The mountain was measured in 1948 by scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey , who also named it. Namesake is the Canadian pilot Peter Borden St. Louis (1923-2010), who had undertaken supply flights from the Argentine Islands to Stonington Island in January and February 1950 .
