Mount Johns is an isolated nunatak lying about 50 nautical miles (90 km ) west of the Heritage Range, the southern part of the Ellsworthgebirges in West Antarctica. The rock rises about 90 m above the surrounding eternal ice that covered the landscape.

Mount Johns was discovered on 27 January 1958 at the Marie Byrd Land Traverse and named after Robert H. Johns ( 1932-1958 ). John had worked in 1957 during the International Geophysical Year as a meteorologist at the U.S. Byrd station and was killed on the Byrd Station in 1958 in the Arctic to its activities.
