Mount McCallum is a 2200 m high mountain in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains, it rises immediately northwest of Mount Marwick .
The designation was made at the suggestion of Malcolm Gordon Laird (1935-2015), head of the geological team who worked in the area between 1981 and 1982 as part of the New Zealand Antarctic Research Program . It is named after the New Zealand scientist and mountaineer Graham John McCallum (1928–1981), who worked in Antarctica from 1963 to 1964 and was killed in an avalanche on Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand .
