Mount Discovery is a conspicuous, isolated volcanic cone, 2,680 metres high, lying at the head of McMurdo Sound and east of Koettlitz Glacier, overlooking the northwest portion of the Ross Ice Shelf.

It forms the center of a three-armed mass of which Brown Peninsula is one extension to the north; Minna Bluff is a second to the east; the third is Mount Morning to the west.

Mount Discovery was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition and named for their expedition ship Discovery.
