Mount Hall is a 2430 m high and rocky mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises 2.5 km southwest of Mount Daniel from a snow-covered, table mountain -like massif , which forms the southern end of the Lillie Range in the Queen Maud Mountains .
Members of a team to explore the Ross Ice Shelf (1957-1958) under the direction of the US geophysicist Albert P. Crary (1911-1997) discovered and photographed him.
