Mount Elkins is a 2300 m high mountain with steep slopes and three peaks in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . It is the highest of the Napier Mountains and rises just north of the Young Nunatakker .

Norwegian cartographers, who named it Jøkelen ( Norwegian for glacier ), mapped it using aerial photos taken between January and February 1937 as part of the Lars Christensen Expedition 1936/37 . Australian cartographers refined this mapping using aerial photographs taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named him after Terrence J. Elkins (* 1938), ionospheric physicist at Mawson Station in 1960.
