Mount Camber is a mountain of 4,430 feet in the Osterrieth Range of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago within the British Antarctic Territory.
The mountain was probably sighted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition. It was roughly charted by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1927 and named 'High Peak' probably at that time. Following resurvey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Arthur Harbour" in 1955, the feature was renamed 'Mount Camber' in reference to the gently sloping nature of the summit.
