Toney Mountain was probably among those viewed from a distance by Admiral Byrd and others of the U.S. Antarctic Survey in plane flights from the ship ''Bear'' in February 1940. It was mapped in December 1957 by the oversnow traverse party from Byrd Station to the Sentinel Range, 1957–58, led by C.R. Bentley who proposed the name. | Toney Mountain was probably among those viewed from a distance by Admiral Byrd and others of the U.S. Antarctic Survey in plane flights from the ship ''Bear'' in February 1940.

The mountain was after [[George R. Toney]], the scientific leader at [[Byrd Station]] in 1957. Toney was also a participant in several Antarctic and Arctic operations, serving in both field and administrative capacities. | |||
