Discovery and naming

The mountain was plotted by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition of 1936–37, and was called "Mefjell" (middle mountain), a name used elsewhere in Antarctica. It was visited in 1961 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions sledge party and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for G.S. Griffiths, a member of the Australian Antarctic Exploration Committee of 1886.^[1]
