Map of Mount Carmer in Antarctica

Mount Carmer (86°6′S 131°11′W) is a mountain on the east side of Wotkyns Glacier in Antarctica, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) west-northwest of Heathcock Peak in the Caloplaca Hills.

Discovery and name

The mountain was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos collected during the years 1960–64. Mount Carmer was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in honor of John L. Carmer, an electronics technician who served at Byrd Station in 1962.
