The Haines Mountains (located at 77° 34' S and 146° 20' W) are a range of ice-capped mountains trending northwest–southeast for about 25 miles and forming the southwest wall of the Hammond Glacier in the Ford Ranges of Westarctica. They were discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1934, and named for William C. Haines, the meteorologist of the Byrd expeditions of 1928–30 and 1933–35.
