Mount Bird (77°17′S 166°43′E / 77.283°S 166.717°E / -77.283; 166.717 (Mount Bird)) is a 1,765 metres (5,791 ft) high shield volcano standing about 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) south of Cape Bird, the northern extremity of Ross Island. It was mapped by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Robert Falcon Scott, and apparently named by them after Cape Bird.^[1]
