An isolated, almost flat-topped, steep-sided rock outcrop in the southern Prince Charles Mountains on the western side of the Lambert Glacier, in Mac.Robertson Land. Discovered in November, 1956, during a photographic flight by an ANARE aircraft. Named after D.H. Johns, physicist at Mawson in 1957.

Highest peak of the Fisher Massif in the Prince Charles Mountains. First visited by an ANARE party led by Bruce H. Stinear in October, 1957. Named after Flying Officer D.M. Johnston, RAAF pilot with the Antarctic Flight at Mawson in 1957.

A peak, 2 km south of Mt. Rivett in Mac.Robertson Land. Land was seen in this vicinity during aeroplane flights by BANZARE (1929-31) on 31 December, 1929, and 5 January, 1930. The area was visited by BANZARE on 13 February, 1931, when a landing was made at Scullin Monolith. Named after A.L. Kennedy, physicist with BANZARE, 1930-31. Mawson's maps show three peaks in this area for which he proposed, at various times, four names, Rivett, Marsden, Kennedy and Hinks. The names of Rivett and Hinks were not used when they indicated they did not wish their names to appear on the map. As a result of photography by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) four peaks were found and all four names were applied.
