Mount Tucker is a roughly 1020 m high and distinctive rocky mountain on the Nordenskjöld coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 15 km northwest of Longing Gap above Larsen Inlet in the Woodman Highlands .
Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey conducted surveys for its mapping between 1960 and 1961. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1964 after the Tucker Sno-Cat Corporation from Medford , Oregon , a US manufacturer of crawler tractors for use in snow.
