Mount Tenniel is a 1625 m high mountain on the Wilkins coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 11 km west-northwest of the mouth of the Clifford Glacier in the Smith Inlet .
Participants in a sled team on the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill discovered him. Aerial photographs were taken in 1947 during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948), which also carried out a mapping in collaboration with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . Geoffrey Miles Clifford (1897–1986), Governor of the Falkland Islands from 1946 to 1954 , named the mountain in 1952 after his great uncle, the British illustrator and watercolorist John Tenniel (1820–1914).
