  Mount McCallum (71°1′S 162°45′E﻿ / ﻿71.017°S 162.750°E﻿ / -71.017; 162.750) is a peak rising to about 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) immediately northwest of the 2,590-metre (8,500 ft) Mount Marwick, in the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains in Antarctica. Following a proposal by M.G. Laird, leader of a New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme geological party to the area, 1981–82, the mountain was named after New Zealand scientist and mountaineer G. McCallum, who worked in Antarctica in the 1963–64 season, and who perished in an avalanche on Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand, in 1981.
