Mount Edred is a prominent ice-covered mountain, high, which stands inland from
George VI Sound, lies about north of
Galileo Cliffs, and marks the southern limit of the
Douglas Range on
Alexander Island,
Antarctica. It was first photographed from the air on November 23, 1935 by
Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by
W.L.G. Joerg. Its east side was roughly surveyed in 1936 by the
British Graham Land Expedition and resurveyed in 1949 by the
Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It was named by the FIDS for
Edred, a Saxon king of
England in the 10th century. The west face of the mountain was mapped from air photos taken by the
Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Mount Edred is the ninth highest peak of Alexander Island, succeeded by
Mount Calais and proceeded by
Mount Spivey.
