Mill Mountain (79°26′S 157°52′E / 79.433°S 157.867°E) is a large flat-topped mountain (2,730 m) forming the eastern end of Festive Plateau in the Cook Mountains. This mountain was probably sighted by the Discovery expedition (1901–04) under Captain Robert F. Scott, who gave the name "Mount Mill," after British Antarctic historian Hugh Robert Mill, to a summit in nearby Reeves Bluffs. This area was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy photography (1959–63). A prominent mountain does not rise from the bluffs, and since the name Mount Mill is in use elsewhere in Antarctica, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1965) altered the original name to Mill Mountain and applied it to the prominent mountain described.
