Mount Flora is a mountain, 520 m (1,700 ft) high, containing a well-defined cirque which faces north-east, standing 0.5 nmi (1 km) south-east of the head of Hope Bay, at the north-east end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, and named by Johan Gunnar Andersson, second-in-command of the expedition who discovered plant fossils of the Jurassic period there.
