Mount Guyon is a 2541 m high and cliff-like mountain with a small summit plateau in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises on the west side of the Deception Glacier and is the highest point in the Warren Range .
The original name as Mount Warren goes back to the northern group of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958). Since there was already a mountain of the same name with Mount Warren in the Sentinel Range of the West Antarctic Ellsworth Mountains , the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee changed the original name to the current name in 1999. It is named after the New Zealand geologist Guyon Warren (1933-2003), a participant of the expedition.
