The Haver Peak is a small mountain in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Kohler Range it rises 6 km south of Morrison Bluff .
The first aerial photographs were taken during the US operation Highjump (1946–1947). The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Lieutenant David John Haver, duty officer in the US Navy supply department during the operation Deep Freeze in 1965 and 1966.
