Mount Stierer () is a mountain (1,080 m) rising 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north-northeast of Mount Bellingshausen in the Prince Albert Mountains, Victoria Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Byron A. Stierer, Airman First Class, United States Air Force (USAF), a member of the McMurdo Station wintering party, 1962.
Byron A. Stierer served as a member of the 1962 wintering party operating the Nuclear Power plant at McMurdo Station, and then was killed by a drunk driver in ChristChurch New Zealand on his first day back from McMurdo Station, leaving a wife and small children He was one of my classmates in Class 60-1 of the joint service, Army Nuclear Power Plant Operator's Course in Ft Belvoir Va and I knew him well. I'm sure the decision was made to name the mountain after him, in remembrance of his tragic loss after serving so well in that remote location. Martin Daly
