'''Mount Giles''' (75°9′S 137°37′W) is a mainly snow-covered mountain, 820 meters (2,690 ft) high, located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) south-southeast of [[Lynch Point]] on the coast of [[Westarctica]]. The mountain is the highest elevation on the divide between the seaward ends of [[Frostman Glacier]] and [[Tulier Glacier]].

==Discovery and name==
Mount Giles was discovered on aerial flights from the West Base of the United States [[Antarctic]] Service (USAS) in 1940. It was named in honor of Walter R. Giles, a technical sergeant in the United States Marine Corps (USMC), who worked as a copilot and radio operator on some of the ariel flights which discovered and mapped this region of Antarctica.

==Location and geology==
Mount Giles is the high point of the divide between Frostman Glacier to the west and Tulier Glacier to the east before they enter [[Hull Bay]] on the coast of [[Marie Byrd Land]]. Other features of the divide include the [[Konter Cliffs]], Lynch Point, and [[Miller Spur]].

The geology of Mount Giles includes layered gabbro holding quartz-free plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and olivine. Isotope analysis of these formations indicates an age of 154±35 million years.
