For the mountain in Australia, see Mount Bowen (Queensland).

Mount Bowen is a peak in the Prince Albert Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It is 1,875 metres (6,152 ft) high, standing north of the Davis Glacier[1] and 6 nautical miles (11 km) south-southwest of Mount Howard.[2] The mountain is primarily composed of layers of sandstone, and the peak is quite black.[1] It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901–1904, which named it for Charles C. Bowen, one of the men who gave the expedition much assistance in New Zealand.[2]
