Mount Ulmer is a striking 2775 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 3 km north of Mount Washburn in the northern part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains .
The American polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth discovered him on his transantarctic flight on November 23, 1935. Ellsworth named him after his wife Marie Louise (née Ulmer, 1886-1954). It was not until 1959 that Ellsworth's aerial photographs were compared with those of the United States Navy to identify the mountain.
