Mount Herschel is a conspicuous peak standing 2.6 km (1.6 mi) northeast of Mount Peacock and overlooking the terminus of Ironside Glacier from the south, in the Admiralty Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica.[1]
The peak was discovered in 1841 by Sir James Clark Ross, who named this feature for Sir John F.W. Herschel, noted English astronomer.[1]
