Mount Waesche is the southernmost of volcano of the Executive Committee Range in central Marie Byrd Land. The southwestern flanks seen here are largely ice-free. Scoria cones with a radial alignment are present, along with outcrops dominated by ‘a’a lavas. A caldera of approximately 2 km diameter is present at the summit.
