The Raggatt Mountains are a group of mountains in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . They rise west of the Scott Mountains and lie east of the Rayner and north of the Thyer Glacier .
They were discovered by Douglas Walter Leckie (* 1920), flight squadron leader of the Royal Australian Air Force , during an overflight in October 1956 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the mountain range after the Australian geologist Harold George Raggatt (1900–1968), Secretary of the Ministry for National Development in Australia from 1951 to 1965.
