The Stump Mountain is over 310 m high and rocky mountain on the Mawson Coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It rises 3 km southwest of Byrd Head .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . They named it as Stabben (Norwegian for stump ). The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia translated this name into English, also to avoid confusion with the mountain of the same name in Queen Maud Land .
