'''Mount Ayles''' is a [[mountain]] located on [[Ellesmere Island]], [[Nunavut]], Canada. It forms part of the border of the [[Quttinirpaaq National Park]]. Like the nearby [[Ayles Ice Shelf]], the mountain was named by the [[Geological Survey of Canada]] in 1965 for [[Adam Ayles]], a [[petty officer]] on-board [[HMS Alert (1856)|HMS ''Alert'']], who was serving in the [[British Arctic Expedition]] under [[George Nares]].<ref> {{cite web|url=http://wairarapa.co.nz/times-age/weekly/2002/ayles.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007050301/http://wairarapa.co.nz/times-age/weekly/2002/ayles.html | archive-date=2007-10-07 | title=British immigrant made mark in Arctic world | date=9 November 2002 | first=Mike | last=Warman | publisher=Wairarapa Times-Age| access-date=2009-11-30}}</ref>
