Mount Haskell is a 1480 m high and pillar-like mountain on the Foyn coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It looms between Mount Denucé and Mount Holmes on the southwest bank of Cabinet Inlet .
In 1947 he was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948). The FIDS named the mountain after the American polar bibliographer Daniel C. Haskell (1809–1887) of the New York Public Library , who wrote a report on the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–1842).
