Muffler Jack Mountain
Falkland Islands
Range: Hornby Mountains
West Falkland
Summit: 1,796 feet

Muffler Jack Mountain stands amongst the Hornby Mountains of West Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. It reaches 1,796 feet above sea level.

The mountain is named after a shepherd who kept flocks on these hills in the 1900s; he was known as "Muffler Jack" as he was always seen wearing a scarf round his face as a muffler. Appropriately, Poncho Hill is just to the east.

The Warrah River rises on the lowers slopes of the mountain.

The Port Howard to Fox Bay inland road passed under the gaze of the mountain, in the pass between Muffler Jack Mountain and the Hill Cove Mountains to the west.
