Mount Getz (76°33′S 145°13′W / 76.550°S 145.217°W / -76.550; -145.217) is a mountain, 1,120 metres (3,670 ft) high, in the southern part of the Fosdick Mountains, 5 nautical miles (9 km) east-southeast of Mount Ferranto, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Antarctic Service (1939–41) led by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and was named for George F. Getz, Jr., who, like his father, gave financial support toward the exploration efforts of Admiral Byrd.[1]
