Hauberg Mountains

Janke Nunatak in the Hauberg Mountains

The Hauberg Mountains are a group of mountains about 35 miles in extent in the south of Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory. These mountains stand twelve miles north of Cape Zumberge and thirty miles south of the Sweeney Mountains.

From west to east, the Hauberg Mountains include:

• Bean Peaks,
• Janke Nunatak,
• Mount Dewe and
• Mount Leek.

These mountains were seen from the air on 21 November 1947 by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition of 1947–48, led by Finn Ronne: he named them for John Henry Hauberg (1869-?1955), of Rock Island, Illinois, a contributor to the expedition. The mountains were photographed from the air by the United States Navy in the 1965-67 season, and mapped from air photographs.
