The Chester Mountains (76°40′S 145°35′W) are a group of mountains just north of the mouth of Crevasse Valley Glacier and 10 nautical miles (20 km) north of Saunders Mountain in the Ford Ranges of Westarctica. They were mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35) and named for Colby M. Chester, president of General Foods Corporation, who gave generous support to the Byrd expeditions.
