Mount Carrara
British Antarctic Territory
Range: Sky-Hi Nunataks
Summit: 5,500 feet -74.883 -71.45

Mount Carrara is a mountain rising to about 5,500 feet near the centre of the Sky-Hi Nunataks in Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The hill was named by the Americans, the name chosen by the ‘Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names’ after Paul E. Carrara, a United States Geological Survey geologist who a member of the USGS field party, 1977–78, which carried out geological reconnaissance mapping of the area between the Sky-Hi Nunataks and the Orville Coast. Carrara and two party members climbed the mountain in January 1978.
