A mountain rising to 3,000 m at the S end of Hackerman Ridge in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. The mountain, which forms the summit area in this part of the ridge, is 2 mi W of Mount Riddolls and 3.5 mi NE of Mount Burrill, with which this name is associated. Named by the US-ACAN in 1994 after Richard R. Randall, geographer and cartographer, Executive Secretary, U.S. Board on Geographic Names, 1973-93, whose office included responsibility for geographic nomenclature in Antarctica. Succeeding Meredith F. Burrill (Mount Burrill, q.v.) as Executive Secretary, Randall combined with Burrill to direct a half-century of American geographic names research.
