Mount Woollard is a mountain nearly 240 km west of the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, in Antarctica. It was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, and named for George P. Woollard, a member of the Technical Panel on Seismology and Gravity for the U.S. National Committee for the IGY, and a trainer of numerous Antarctic geophysicists.
Mount Woollard is an isolated mountain, with only Mount Moore 8 miles to the north. Mount Moore rises 305 m above the snow surface. It was also discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, on February 4, 1958, and named after Lt. John P. Moore, USNR, a helicopter pilot aboard the USS Atka, who perished in a helicopter crash near Kainan Bay in January 1955.
