Mount Supernal is a large double summit mountain (3,655 meters (11,991 ft)) surmounting the southeast corner of Hercules Neve and the heads of the Gair and Meander Glaciers, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The feature has at times been mistaken for Mount Murchison. Named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1962–63, because of its prominent and lofty appearance.[1]
