Mount Kristensen

Mount Kristensen (86°20′S 159°40′W / 86.333°S 159.667°W / -86.333; -159.667) is a mountain, 3,460 m, standing on the west side of Nilsen Plateau 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of Lindstrom Peak, in the Queen Maud Mountains. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1967 for H. Kristensen, an engineer on the ship Fram of Amundsen's Norwegian expedition of 1910-12. This naming preserves Amundsen's commemoration of "Mount H. Kristensen," a name applied in 1911 for an unidentifiable mountain in the general area.
