**Mount Ariel** is a [peak](/source/Summit_(topography)), 1,250 m, marking the south limit of [Planet Heights](/source/Planet_Heights) and overlooking the north side of [Uranus Glacier](/source/Uranus_Glacier) in the east part of [Alexander Island](/source/Alexander_Island). The peak lies 3 miles (5 km) east of [Atoll Nunataks](/source/Atoll_Nunataks). Probably first seen by [Lincoln Ellsworth](/source/Lincoln_Ellsworth), who flew directly over it and photographed segments of this coast on November 23, 1935. First mapped from air photos taken by the [Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition](/source/Ronne_Antarctic_Research_Expedition) (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the [Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey](/source/Falkland_Islands_Dependencies_Survey) (FIDS) in 1960. So named by the [United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/United_Kingdom_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) (UK-APC) because of its association with [Uranus Glacier](/source/Uranus_Glacier), [Ariel](/source/Ariel_(moon)) being one of the satellites of [Uranus](/source/Uranus).
