Mount Cairnes is a 2,810-metre (9,220-foot) mountain summit in the Saint Elias Mountains on the boundary line of Kluane National Park in Yukon, Canada.[2] The mountain is situated 44 km (27 mi) west of Haines Junction, 18 km (11 mi) southeast of Kluane Lake, and can be seen from the Alaska Highway midway between the two. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Maxwell, 27.7 km (17.2 mi) to the southwest.[1] The mountain's name was officially adopted February 3, 1981, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] Clive Elmore Cairnes (1892–1954) was active with the Geological Survey of Canada as well as the Geographic Board of Canada until his retirement in 1953. He was related to noted geologist DeLorme Donaldson Cairnes (1879–1917), for whom this mountain is named.[4]
