Welcome Mountain (72°14′S 160°12′E) is a very prominent mountain that is surmounted by three peaks, the highest 2,505 m, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) southeast of Mount Southard in the Outback Nunataks. Discovered and named by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse party, 1959–60. So named because it was the first mountain visited by the traverse party after crossing the interior plateau and not seeing any mountains or landmark features for nearly three months.
