Johnson Col
Johnson Col (78°22′S 85°10′W / 78.367°S 85.167°W) is a col at about 1,800 metres (5,900 ft), located in the Sullivan Heights 2 nautical miles (4 km) west-southwest of Mount Farrell in the central part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–59, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Earl F. Johnson, a U.S. Navy utilitiesman at South Pole Station in 1957.[1]
