Haynes Table (84°49′S 174°35′E / 84.817°S 174.583°E / -84.817; 174.583) is a high, snow-covered mesa, some 8 nautical miles (15 km) across and rising to 3,390 metres (11,120 ft), located south of Mount Odishaw in the Hughes Range, of Antarctica, between the heads of Keltie Glacier and Brandau Glacier. It was discovered and photographed by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on the flight of January 12–13, 1956, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for B.C. Haynes, a meteorologist of the U.S. Weather Bureau on U.S. Navy Operation Highjump 1946–47.[1]
