Mount Viets is a sharp pyramidal mountain over 3,600 m, standing 1.5nmi north of Mount Giovinetto in the main ridge of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains. It surmounts Delyo Glacier to the east and Burdenis Glacier to the northeast.
The mountain was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse party of 1957–58 under Charles R. Bentley. It was named for Ronald L. Viets, a geophysicist at Little America V Station in 1957. It was climbed for the first time on January 11, 1996, by the French alpinists Erik Decamp and Catherine Destivelle.[1]
