Raudberg (Antarctica)

Raudberg in the Norwegian language means Red Mountain. Three terrain features in East Antarctica bear the name Raudberg:

  1. Raudberg Pass
  2. Raudberg Valley
  3. Raudberget

Raudberg Pass

Raudberg Pass (72°38′S 3°22′W) is a pass between Kulen Mountain and Raudberget in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–1952) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.

Raudberg Valley

Raudberg Valley (72°39′S 3°26′W) is the main ice-filled valley, about 37 kilometres (20 nautical miles) long, extending northeastward through the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named for its proximity to Raudberget.[1]

Dalsnuten Peak is a peak rising above the ice in the northeast part of Raudberg Valley.[2]

Raudberget

Raudberget (72°38′S 3°30′W) is a prominent mountain just northeast of Hogskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Raudberget (the red mountain).
