The Gutenko Mountains (-71.6667°N -109°W) are a large, scattered group of hills, nunataks and small mountains at the south end of Dyer Plateau in central Palmer Land, Antarctica. The feature includes the Elliott Hills, the Rathbone Hills, the Guthridge Nunataks and the Blanchard Nunataks.
The Gutenko Mountains are in central Palmer Land at the south end of the Dyer Plateau, to the east of Goodenough Glacier.The Batterbee Mountains and George VI Sound are to the west.The Holmes Hills and Hess Mountains are to the southeast, Mount Jackson is to the east and the Welch Mountains are to the northeast.Features, from north to south, include the Elliott Hills, Mount Mumford, the Rathbone Hills, Randall Ridge, the Guthridge Nunataks, Mount Jukkola, Walcott Peak, Lokey Peak, the Blanchard Nunataks.
The Gutenko Mountains were seen from the air during flights of November 21 and December 23, 1947, by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE).They are named for Sigmund Gutenko, United States Navy, chief commissary steward with the expedition. The mountains were mapped in detail by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974.
