Mount Glowa
British Antarctic Territory
Range: Behrendt Mountains
Summit: 3,150 feet 75°27’0"S, 73°15’45"W

Mount Glowa is the south-westernmost of the Behrendt Mountains, to the north-west of Cape Zumberge along the Orville Coast of southern Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory. The summit is at about 3,150 feet.

The mountain was named after Colonel L. William Glowa of the United States Air Force, on the staff of General Curtis LeMay, USAF (from whom the LeMay Range is named) at the time the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition was organized, and who assisted in obtaining support for the expedition.
