The Seward Mountains are an isolated mountain group of up to 1,525 m height on the English coast in the southwest of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . They rise up about 16 km east-southeast of the Buttress Nunatakker and just as far east of George VI Sound .
The mountains were discovered in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , who named them after the British botanist and geologist Albert Charles Seward (1863–1941).
