Mount Casey is a mountain, 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) high, at the north side of the head of Oakley Glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) east-northeast of Mount Monteagle in the Mountaineer Range of Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Denis Casey, U.S. Navy Reserve, Catholic chaplain with the winter party at McMurdo Station, 1967.[1]
