Mount Don Pedro Christophersen (85°32′S 165°47′W) is a massive, largely ice-covered, gabled mountain, 3,765 metres (12,350 ft) high, surmounting the divide between the heads of Axel Heiberg Glacier and Cooper Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains. It was discovered in 1911 by Roald Amundsen, who named it after Peter "Don Pedro" Christophersen, one of the expedition's chief supporters who lived in Buenos Aires.[1]
