Names that other countries have for this feature:
A prominent peak, 3,140 m, standing 4 mi SSW of Mount Griffith on the ridge at the head of Vaughan Glacier, in the Hays Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains. Named for Norman D. Vaughan, dog driver with the ByrdAE geological party under Laurence Gould which explored the mountains in this vicinity in December 1929. The map resulting from the ByrdAE, 1928-30, applied the name Mount Vaughan to the southern portion of Mount Goodale (q.v.), but the US-ACAN has modified the original naming to apply to this larger peak which lies 15 mi southeastward.
