Mount Powell (Antarctica)
Mount Powell is a prominent mountain sharing a small massif with King Peak which stands 1.5 nautical miles west-northwest, in the east part of the Thiel Mountains in Antarctica. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur Ford, co-leaders of the Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960–61. Named for John Wesley Powell, second director of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1881–94. Other peaks in the vicinity are named for directors of the United States Geological Survey.
