Mount Marr is a rocky mountain in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . It rises eight miles south of Johnston Peak and eight miles west of Douglas Peak from the ice sheet surrounding it.
The mountain was discovered in January 1930 by participants in the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929-1930) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer Douglas Mawson . This named him after the British marine biologist and polar researcher James Marr (1902-1965), participant in this research trip and in the Quest expedition (1921-1922).
