Mount Tokoroa (71°13′S 162°50′E / 71.217°S 162.833°E / -71.217; 162.833) is a massive snow-covered mountain in Antarctica. It is on a spur of the Explorers Range, Bowers Mountains, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of the summit of Mount Soza at the junction of the Morley and Carryer Glaciers. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topo West party, 1962–63, Mount Tokoroa was named by members of this party for the village of Tokoroa, New Zealand, in recognition of its kindness to United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) personnel.
