Mount Worsley is a mountain of 3,622 feet on South Georgia, standing to the north of the Esmark Glacier and on the west side of Briggs Glacier.
This mountain was named following the South Georgia Survey after Commander Frank Arthur Worsley, of the Royal Naval Reserve (1872-1943), Master of Endurance during the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and who accompanied Shackleton in the James Caird from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, and made the overland crossing of the island with him to the Stromness whaling station.
The mountain was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey during the 1951–57 survey.
