The Johnson Mesa is a lobed and 350 and interlocutory 450 m high Table Mountain in the east of the West Antarctic James Ross Island . It rises in a northeast-southwest orientation between Ekelöf Point and Cape Gage . The summit plateau is dominated by three connected snow domes that decrease in height.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2006 after the paleontologist Hendrik Albert Jonkers (* 1952) of the British Antarctic Survey , an expert on fossil scallops in Antarctica .
