Haven Mountain is a prominent mountain, 2,470 metres (8,100 ft) high, with a level razor-back snow ridge at its highest (eastern) part, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the Three Nunataks in the northwestern part of the Britannia Range. It was so named by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), who sheltered for five days in the largely snow-free area below the north side of the summit ridge.[1]
