Mount Cross rises to 3,300 feet in the Anderson Hills, within the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains in Queen Elizabeth Land, in the British Antarctic Territory. It is found two and a half nautical miles north-east of King Ridge.
This mountain was seen from the air on a US flight from 'Ellsworth Station' in 1957-58 and was named after Dr Allan S. Cross, who advised the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition on medical supplies and rations, and provided first-aid instruction; surveyed from the ground by the United States Geological Survey in 1961-62 and photographed from the air by the United States Navy in 1964.
