The Ickes Mountains are a series of coastal mountains that extend west from Strauss Glacier for in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.
The Ickes Mountains were discovered from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service on 18 December 1940. The name Ickes Mountains, after United States Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, appeared in the maps and reports resulting from this expedition although Ickes objected and never acquiesced to the use. Nonetheless, the name became established in usage and in 1966 was approved by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN). The United States Antarctic Service was established in the Division of Territories and Island Possessions of the United States Department of the Interior in 1939, during the period (1933–46) that Ickes was secretary.
The Ickes Mountains are south of the mouth of Strauss Glacier in Land Bay on the Pacific Ocean.They are east of the mouth of Land Glacier.Features include, from west to east, Shoemake Nunatak, Billey Bluff, Mount Langway, Mount LeMasurier, Mount Vance and Mount McCrory.Nearby features to the south include Partridge Nunatak, Bailey Nunatak and Wilkins Nunatak.

The nunatak was photographed from aircraft of the US AS, 1939-41, and was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy aerial photography, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for John L. Shoemake, aerographer, United States Navy, weather observer at Brockton Station on the Ross Ice Shelf during two summer seasons, 1968-69 and 1969-70.
-75.5333°N -142°W. A rocky coastal bluff southwest of Mount Langway in the west part of Ickes Mountains. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for John P. Billey, ionospheric physicist, Scientific Leader at Byrd Station, 1971.

-75.45°N -178°W. An ice-free coastal mountain which rises to more than high between Mount Vance and Mount Langway, in the central part of the Ickes Mountains. The feature was discovered and photographed from aircraft of the USAS, 1939-41.Named by US-ACAN for Wesley E. LeMasurier, geologist with Marie Byrd Land Survey II, 1967-68.
