Werner Mountains
The Werner Mountains (73°34′S 62°20′W / 73.567°S 62.333°W) are a group of mountains located just west-southwest of New Bedford Inlet and between the Meinardus Glacier and Bryan Glacier, in Palmer Land, Antarctica.

The Werner Mountains are in southern Palmer Land on the Lassiter Coast of the Weddell Sea. They are northeast of the Playfair Mountains, northwest of Arctowski Peak on the Piggott Peninsula, west of New Bedford Inlet, south of the Dana Mountains. The interior ice plateau to the west is largely featureless apart from isolated nunataks. The Meinardus Glacier defines the north edge of the range, the Bryan Glacier defines the east edge and the Swann Glacier defines the west edge.
The Werner Mountains were first seen and photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961–67. They were named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Abraham Gottlob Werner (1750–1819), German geologist and mineralogist.
Features, from north to south, include Mount Hemmingsen, Mount Fell, Mount Virdin, Douglas Glacier, Mount High and Mount Broome.
73°25′S 61°50′W / 73.417°S 61.833°W. A mountain at the northeast end of the Werner Mountains, located on the south side of Meinardus Glacier, 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southwest of Court Nunatak. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Edvard A. Hemmingsen, biologist at McMurdo Station, summer 1966-67, and Palmer Station, 1967-68.
73°26′S 62°16′W / 73.433°S 62.267°W. A mountain 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) west of Mount Hemmingsen in the north part of Werner Mountains. Mapped by USGS from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Jack W. Fell, biologist on the Eastwind in the cruise along Antarctic Peninsula in the 1965-66 season.
73°29′S 61°54′W / 73.483°S 61.900°W. A mountain 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) southwest of Mount Hemmingsen. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Floyd Virdin, construction mechanic at South Pole Station in 1967.
