Mount Irving is a mountain rising to ca. 1,950 metres (6,398 ft)[1][2] that is the dominant elevation on Clarence Island, in the South Shetland Islands. (Some older sources used to give the elevation as 2,300 metres (7,546 ft).[3][4]) The rounded, heavily glaciated mountain is situated in Urda Ridge occupying the southern part of the island. A prominent feature, the mountain doubtless was known to sealers in the area in the 1820s. It was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Rear Admiral Sir Edmund George Irving, Royal Navy, Hydrographer of the Navy, 1960-66. First ascent by a team comprising Capt. Crispin Agnew, John Hult and George Bruce of the Joint Services Expedition to Elephant Island on 6 December 1970.[1][5]
