Mount Hayward (78°7′S 167°21′E / 78.117°S 167.350°E / -78.117; 167.350) is a hill 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Mount Heine on White Island, in the Ross Archipelago, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1958–59) for Victor Hayward, a British member of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17), who lost his life in a blizzard on 8 May 1916 on the sea ice in McMurdo Sound.[1]
