Narrative

A bluff-type mountain with a small summit area, 2541m. It rises at the west side of Deception Glacier and forms the highest elevation in Warren Range.

Named For

The Northern Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) (1956-58) called this feature "Mount Warren" after Guyon Warren, a member of the field party in 1957-58. That name was not adopted in order to avoid confusion with another mountain of the same name. The name Mount Guyon (after Guyon Warren) was recommended to be approved for the mountain described in keeping with the spirit of the original naming.
