The Mill Mountain is a 2,730 m high mountain with a flattened mountaintop in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It forms the eastern Festive Plateau in the Cook Mountains .

Presumably he was first sighted during the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott . Scott had given a supposed summit in the nearby Reeves Bluffs the name "Mount Mill", but it could not be identified either in the course of the United States Geological Survey or on aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1959 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names changed the name in 1965 due to the earlier naming of the Mount Mill in Grahamland of the same name in "Mill Mountain" and transferred it to the mountain described here. Both mountains are named after Hugh Robert Mill (1861–1950), research associate on the Discovery Expedition and long-time librarian of the Royal Geographical Society .
