The Latady Mountains are found in Palmer Land and rise to 1700m west of Gardner Inlet, Orville Coast. They include (from N to S) Mount Aaron, McLaughlin Peak, Mount Robertson, Crain Ridge, Mount Wood, Mount Hyatt, Mount Terrazas and the Schmitt Mesa.

They were first seen from the air by RARE, on 1947-11-21, in the reported position 75°30'S 65°50'W, and named after William R. Latady.[1] It was partially surveyed by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in December 1947.[2]

The mountains were photographed from the air by USN, 1965–67, and mapped from air photographs by USGS. Monte Latady, presumably referring to this feature (Chile. IHA, 1974, p. 178). Cordón Namuncura, so called by AAE after the "native saint" (Argentina. MD, 1978, letter N).[3]
