Mount Seaton is a prominent, 1007 m high and domed mountain in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . In the Prince Charles Mountains it rises 5 km south of the Sandilands-Nunatak as one of the Amery Peaks .
A team led by the Australian mountaineer William Gordon Bewsher (1924–2012) mapped the massif in January 1957 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the pilot John Alex Seaton (* 1927) of the Royal Australian Air Force , who was part of the flight readiness at Mawson Station in 1956.
