From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haffner Pass (69°47′S, 71°22′W) is a pass running NE-SW and rising to about 500 m between Gilbert Glacier and Mozart Ice Piedmont, north Alexander Island. Surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1975-77. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1980 after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Haffner symphony (1782) in association with the name of the ice piedmont.
