Mount Sullivan is a 2070 m high mountain in Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 195 km east of the northern part of the Eternity Range .

The mountain is in the area that the Australian polar explorer Hubert Wilkins and his American counterpart Lincoln Ellsworth flew over in 1935. The first mapping goes back to participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Aerial photographs were taken in 1940 during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) and in 1947 during the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). Finn Ronne , leader of the latter expedition, named him after Col. H. R. Sullivan of the Research and Development Department of the United States Army Air Forces , which had equipped Ronne's expedition with equipment.
